1And by them they set the castle on fire. There is in these words Alleosis of the gender, for the Masculine gender is put for the Feminine, for as much as this relative Eos that is them, is referred to the bows, which in the Hebrew is a word of the Feminine gender. Mention is made of the utter destruction of the City, for it was not only overthrown, and strawed with salt, but also the princes were slain with fire and smoke. Abimelech in this warlike policy showed not unto all, what he would do, he only biddeth the people to follow him. Gideon also when he took the pitcher, fire brand, and trumpet, commanded the other to do the same: so Abimelech took a bow on his shoulder, and the other did the like. He kindleth fire, and burneth all them which were in the hold, otherwise he could not have conquered the tower. Some think that Gaal also perished here, & that being put to flight by Abimelech, 2he got him to this hold. After this sort God took vengeance upon the Sechemites. And Abimelech, although he were an ungodly and cruel tyrant, obtained the victory: so also god gave Nebuchadnezzar power, to afflict the Jews, and to lead them captives to Babylon. And likewise unto Tiglathphalasar to oppress the ten tribes. All these men had the victory, and yet was their cause nothing the better. This rule god useth oftentimes to punish the evil by evil, although he do not straightway punish them all. Some he punisheth before, and other some afterward: and there are some also, whose vengeance he reserveth for the world to come.
1And by them they set the castle on fire. There is in these wordes Alleosis of the gender, for the Masculine gender is put for the Feminine, for as much as this relatiue Eos that is them, is referred to the bowes, which in the Hebrew is a word of the Feminine gender. Mencion is made of the vtter destruction of the Citye, for it was not onely ouerthrowen, and strawed with salte, but also the princes were slayne with fire and smoke. Abimelech in this warlike pollecy shewed not vnto all, what he would do, he onely biddeth the people to follow hym. Gideon also when he tooke the pitcher, fire brand, and trompet, commaunded the other to do the same: so Abimelech tooke a bowe on his shoulder, and the other did the like.
