It seemeth also somewhat obscure, that it is written that Judah descended, when he should go fight against the Canaanites, who dwelled on the mountains. When as we accustom in going to mountains to ascend, and not to descend. But we must understand that those countries were full of mountains. Wherefore when the host removed from one mountain to an other, it must needs descend first into the valley, from whence it might afterward ascend upon an other mountain. Thou wilt peradventure ask whether Judah at that time conquered the plain or the valley which was between? No verily. He assaulted them in deed, but he could not overcome them. For we shall hear in this chap. that those which were not overcome of Judah in the valley, had iron Chariots, so that by that means they were not overcome.
It seemeth also somewhat obscure, that it is wrytten that Iudah descended, when he should go fight against the Chananites, who dwelled on ye mountaines. When as we accustome in going to mountaines to ascend, and not to descende. But we must vnderstand that those countries wer ful of mountaines. Wherefore when the host remoued from one mountaine to an other, it must nedes descend first into the valley, from whence it might afterward ascend vpon an other mountaine. Thou wylt peraduenture aske whether Iudah at that tyme cōquered the plaine or the valley which was betwene? No verely. He assaulted them in dede, but he could not ouercome them. For we shall heare in thys chap. that those which were not ouercome of Iudah in the valley, had yron Chariotes, so that by that meanes they were not ouercome.
And Judah went against the Canaanites, that dwelt in Hebron. These things are now therefore repeated, that we should understand that it was not of necessity that the city Hebron should be taken of Judah then when the Israelites were in this journey on warfare, which they took in hand after the death of Joshua, namely at that time, wherein the public wealth was governed by elders without any certain Judge, Joshua being yet alive.
And Iudah went against the Chananites, that dwelt in Hebron. These thnges are now therfore repeated, that we should vnderstande that it was not of necessity that the city Hebron should be taken of Iudah then when the Israelites were in this iourney on warfare, which they tooke in hand after the death of Iosua, namelye at that tyme, wherein the publique wealth was gouerned by elders without any certaine Iudge, Iosua being yet alyue.
