Were gathered together. In Hebrew it is Noecu, by which verb is signified, that they were raised up by an outcry. For so are men gathered together when they hear an outcry on every side.

The Danites made him afeard, and threatened that men of a bitter mind would invade him, whom they so call, either because they were angry (for choler is of his nature bitter) or else because they were desperate, as they in a manner are which seek new dwelling places, and depart from home, because they can not there abide commodiously. It is again repeated that they of Lais were far from Zidon: which declareth that they were in league with them.

But in that it is written that Jonathan and his sons were Priests there, even to the day of the captivity of the land, we must not (as far as I judge) understand it of the captivity which the Hebrews suffered, either by the Assyrians or by the Chaldeans: but of that which happened, when they were plagued by the Philistines: when also the Ark of the Testament was taken away. I know also that there are some of the Hebrews which fable that this Jonathan was the nephew of Moses by his son Gerson, and that his Grandfather is here called Manasseh, putting between this letter Nun, for to honour Moses with all. As though the holy scriptures do not oftentimes make mention of most wicked children borne of excellent Parents. But this is to be marked, that that is not very firm, neither can it be certain, in that it was before said, that this Levite was a Gersonite, because Gerson was the Son of Levi, and not of Manasseh. Wherefore it must needs be uncertain of what family of the Levites this man was. But now let us diligently weigh such things as are in this chapter, worthy of peculiar noting.
