Now in the shutting up of the chapter, the holy story bringeth in the 1tribe of Dan, showing that these Danites had not the liberty that the other tribes had: for they yet had strength to expel the Canaanites that were in their lot, and did not: these were cooped up in a narrow room unto the mountains, and yet were not suffered to possess them neither: but they were not permitted at all to dwell in the valleys, but their enemies had them out, and kept a great part of their possessions in their hands by force. So that we see that the negligence of the other tribes in suffering the forbidden nations to remain and wax strong; caused these their brethren to be wronged, and to go without their due which God had allotted them: For if they had kept their enemies out, they might have been able now to help this tribe of Dan: who if the house of Joseph had not done more then the rest, they had been left almost without habitation.
