1God afflicted the Israelites, and delivered them to their enemies, because they returned to their old nature, and forgetting the Lord their God, worshipped Idols. And this affliction dured forty years. We read of none longer then this. From the death of Abdon the last Judge, even almost unto Hely this affliction endured: because Samson did not fully deliver the people. He in deed smote the Philistines, but he did not utterly repel them from oppressing of the Hebrews. This word Zorah is a name of a place, and not of a family, as we shall afterward understand, towards the end of the chapter.

And when by order he came unto Dan: Dan (saith he) shall judge his people, and he shall be a Serpent in the way, and an Adder in the path, biting the horses heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. For Samson after a sort did byte the foot of the horse, when he overthrew the pillar, that is, the foot of the parlour, & laid the rider on the ground, that is, the company of the Philistines, with the fall of the wall. These things I therefore make mention of, that it might appear, that they were no small or vulgar things, when as Jacob so long time before prophesied of them. Samson was of the Tribe of Dan, when as the next Judge before him was of the tribe of Ephraim. God used not at the time any ordinary Magistrate,
