Now before I go from the third verse, which I have joined with the 1fifth; to show that Israel dwelt among the nations, this doubt is to be answered, namely, how it can be affirmed, that the cities of the Philistines are said not to have been possessed of the Israelites, I mean Ekron, Askelon, and Gaza, but to be at the time here mentioned, in the Philistines hands: seeing in the first chapter of this book, vers. 18. it is said, that they were taken and enjoyed with their borders, of Judah and Simeon in war made with them. 2To the which it is answered, that they were indeed at that time taken by them; but now after that, they were not in the possession of them, but for the sins of Israel, their strength was abated, and the Philistines power was confirmed. Whereby without any difficulty it came to pass, that they recovered them again.
