This be said of the first of these three things in this second part of the 1Chapter, to wit, of the Philistines coming armed against the men of Judah to require Samson of them. Now the next point followeth thereof; that ⟨p. 709⟩is to say, how the men of Judah, being sore afraid of them, went and bound Samson, to deliver him unto them. And this they did after they had asked of them why they came against them, and they had answered; to have Samson brought bound unto them. The which they went about immediately, as shall further be laid out in the 11. 12. and 13. verses.

- 1Vers. 10. 11. 12.
But the men of Judah demand of them in this 10. verse, why they took 1up armour against them, seeing they (according to agreement with them) submitted themselves to them, and paid their tribute, and had not provoked them by rising against them: upon which condition, they had promise of the Philistines that they should enjoy peace, and live without fear. But they answered for themselves, by pleading how Samson had spoiled them, who was one of them, and if they would (they said) defend his doing, then they would fight and make war with them: but if they would deliver him bound unto them, they would depart: for they would (they said) do unto him, as he had done unto them.
