The first part of the Chapter.
The holy story showeth in this first part of the Chapter, that God sent 1tidings and hope of help against the Philistines, and that is done in this, ⟨p. 612⟩and these four next verses following: and that was because the people having fallen again to provoke the Lord, he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines, and that for forty years. But here it is said, he thought upon their bondage, and went about their deliverance. This their bondage when it began and ended, is hardly gathered for certainty: but most likely it began after the death of Abdon, and continued almost to the time of Heli.
THe holy storie sheweth in this first part of the Chapter, that God sent 1tidings and hope of help against the Philistims, and that is done in this, ⟨p. 612⟩and these foure next verses following: and that was because the people hauing fallen againe to prouoke the Lord, hee deliuered them into the hands of the Philistims, and that for fortie yeeres. But here it is said, hee thought vpon their bondage, and went about their deliuerance. This their bondage when it began and ended, is hardly gathered for certaintie: but most likely it began after the death of Abdon, and continued almost to the time of Heli.
