The things which are now red unto the xvii.1 verse are most part transferred hither out of the book of Joshua the .xv. chap, and are now declared by a certain brief rehearsal of things, and it is done to this end, that we might understand that the tribe of Judah had obtained Jerusalem when Joshua was yet living so that it was the easier for him to lead away Adonibezek captive thither. And these be the things which are repeated in this place out of the book of Joshua. The conquering of Jerusalem, Hebron, and Debir, the matrimony also between Achsa & Othoniel and the departure of the Kenites from the city of Palms. That all these things (I say) are now declared by a certain repetition, it is thereby manifest, because it is written in the book of Joshua, that the king of Jerusalem was taken, & we read in the end of the xv. chap. that the same city of Jerusalem came into the hands of the people of God, and that the children of Judah dwelt in it with the Jebusites. Besides that these things which are now rehearsed of Hebron are contained in the .x.xi. and about the end of the xiiii. chap. in the book of Joshua. And the history of Achse and Othoniell is red in the xv. chap. of the same book.2 This repetition therefore or parentheses extendeth to these words: And Judah wet with his brother Simeon, &c. In which place the author returneth to make mention of the acts which the tribes of Judah and Simeon joined together did at this time perform. Which thing also by this appeareth the more manifest, because straightway is declared how Gaza was taken, which city is said in the xi and xiii. chap. of Joshua to have yet remained in the hands of the enemies,3 & is numbered among those cities which were not conquered under Joshua. Wherefore the words of the preterperfect tense which are red in this repetition are to be interpreted in that time past, which we call the preterplus perfect tense, that the ⟨image 21⟩order of the history might be made more plain and manifest.
The things which are now red vnto the xvii.1 verse are most part transferred hither out of the booke of Iosua the .xv. chap, and are now declared by a certain briefe rehearsall of things, and it is done to this end, that we might vnderstand that ye tribe of Iudah had obtayned Ierusalem when Iosua was yet liuing so that it was the easier for him to lead away Adonibezek captiue thither. And these be the things which are repeated in thys place out of the booke of Iosua. The conquering of Ierusalem, Hebron, and Debir, the matrimony also betwene Achsa & Othoniel and ye departure of the Kenites from the citie of Palmes. That al these things (I say) are now declared by a certaine repetition, it is therby manifest, bicause it is written in the booke of Iosua, that the king of Ierusalem was taken, & we read in the end of the xv. chap. that the same citie of Ierusalem came into the handes of the people of God, and that the children of Iudah dwelt in it with the Iebusites. Besides that these things which are now rehearsed of Hebron are contayned in the .x.xi. and about the end of the xiiii. chap. in the booke of Iosua. And ye historye of Achse and Othoniell is red in the xv. chap. of the same boke.
