Now to go forward, we have heard that the men of Judah answered 1the Philistines, that they had not risen up against them, and therefore marvelled why they came to make war with them. Whereupon ariseth a 2question, whether they did well in yielding so to the Philistines, and in answering them so, to wit, that they had been subject to them according to agreement. Also, whether they did well herein, in offering to yield Samson to them? And now (as is said in this verse) in forsaking him their country man and avenger, nay in apprehending and binding him, and so to deliver him into their hands? For God had raised him up an helper unto them, his people, against their enemies: and should they be so unthankful as to offer him, their Judge and helper, into their enemies hands?
