He possessed the mountain. 1It is written in Hebrew Veioresch Hahar, which if it were properly translated is, he drave away the mountain, which without doubt is a figurative phrase, for the figure [Greek or Hebrew] is added, by which figure, one and the self word serveth for two members, because that word Joschebe which is inhabitants, ought to be repeated: that even as it is said that Judah could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, so also must be understand that the inhabitants of the mountain were expelled by him, so that this word Hahar is the genitive case, as is this word Haamak, that is, of the valley. The conquering of both these was painful, because Cities founded upon mountains are by nature of the place well fenced, and they which dwelled in the […] valleys, were very expert in a kind of fence, I mean iron chariots. But least peradventure we should think that the inhabitors of the mountains were driven out of their place of Judah by the strength of men there is set before. And the Lord was with Judah. As though it had ben said, because they fought by the favour of God, therefore the hilly places were conquered. Wherefore if God had aided them of Judah with the like favour in their battle in the valley, they should also have overcome those which inhabited the valley. There seemeth also a cause to be given because they had iron chariots.
He possessed the mountayne. 1It is written in Hebrewe Veioresch Hahar, which if it wer properly translated is, he draue away the mountain, which without doubt is a figuratiue phrase, for the figure 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 is added, by whych figure, one and the selfe woord serueth for two members, bycause that woorde Ioschebe which is inhabitours, ought to be repeated: that euen as it is said that Iudah could not dryue out the inhabitours of the valley, so also must be vnderstand that the inhabitours of the mountaine were expelled by him, so that thys woord Hahar is the genitiue case, as is this woord Haamak, that is, of the valley. The conquering of both these was paynfull, bycause Cityes founded vpon mountaines are by nature of the place wel fenced, and they whych dwelled in the 〈…〉 valleys, wer very experte in a kynde of fence, I meane yron chariotes. But least peraduenture we should thinke that the inhabitors of the mountains wer driuen out of their place of Iudah by the strength of men ther is set before. And the Lord was with Iudah. As though it had ben said, bicause they fought by the fauour of God, therfore the hilly places wer conquered. Wherefore if God had ayded them of Iudah with the like fauour in their battayl in the valley, they should also haue ouercome those which inhabited the valley. There semeth also a cause to be geuen bycause they had yron chariotes.
