What Does Judges 10:15 Mean?
Israel does not turn away at God's refusal; they press closer. They confess again, We have sinned, and place themselves wholly in His hands: do to us whatever seems good to You, only deliver us this day. They cast themselves on His mercy with nothing to offer but surrender.
This is repentance ripened into trust. Israel makes no bargain and claims no right; they simply throw themselves on the goodness of God and ask for rescue. To say do whatever seems good to You is to lay down all self-defense and trust the Lord's character. Such humble surrender is exactly what God receives. The way to mercy is never demand but the open hand of those who know they deserve nothing yet trust His heart.
