These verses and the other that follow to the 17. verse, are repeated 1out of the book of Joshua, chiefly out of the 15. chapter, and are brought hither to this end, that we may understand that the Tribe of Judah possessed Jerusalem, while Joshua was yet alive, and therefore they might the easilier and better bring Adonibezek thither prisoner. And the things that are here repeated out of Joshua, are partly these, in the four verses which I have now read, namely, the taking of Jerusalem, Hebron and Debir, and their fighting against the Canaanites that dwelt in the mountains; and partly those things following afterward to the 16. verse, as shall be showed when I come unto them. And that they are here repeated, is manifest hereby, for that it is declared in that Chapter of Joshua, that the King of Jerusalem was then taken, and was brought into the hands of the people of God, and that the children of Judah dwelt there with the Jebusites. In the 17. verse, the holy story returneth to set down what Judah and Simeon did further at this time, as he began to declare before from verse 4. to the 8. That which concerneth Hebron and Debir shall be set down in their place.
THese verses and the other that follow to the 17. verse, are repeated 1out of the book of Ioshua, chiefly out of the 15. chapter, and are brought hither to this end, that we may vnderstand that the Tribe of Iudah possessed Ierusalem, while Ioshua was yet aliue, and therefore they might the easilier and better bring Adonibezek thither prisoner. And the things that are here repeated out of Ioshua, are partly these, in the foure verses which I haue now read, namely, the taking of Ierusalem, Hebron and Debir, and their fighting against the Canaanits that dwelt in the mountaines; and partly those things following afterward to the 16. verse, as shall be shewed when I come vnto them. And that they are here repeated, is manifest hereby, for that it is declared in that Chapter of Ioshua, that the King of Ierusalem was then taken, and was brought into the hands of the people of God, and that the children of Iudah dwelt there with the Iebusites. In the 17. verse, the holy storie returneth to set downe what Iudah and Simeon did further at this time, as he began to declare before from verse 4. to the 8. That which concerneth Hebron and Debir shall be set downe in their place.
