Matthew Poole and continuators on Judges 18:9

9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good: and are ye still ? Be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.

Heb. silent? Silence is oft put for stillness or cessation from action or motion, as Exod. 14. 14. Isa. 62. 1. Lament. 2. 18. For they do not accuse them for want of speaking, for that they did; but for wanting of doing and putting their words and resolves into execution.
