20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Enak. 21 And the children of Benjamin did not caste out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: Wherefore the Jebusites dwelled with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem, unto this day.
20 And they gaue Hebron vnto Chaleb, as Moyses sayd: and he expelled thence the three sonnes of Enak. 21 And the children of Beniamin dyd not caste oute the Iebusites that inhabited Ierusalem: Wherefore the Iebusites dwelled with the children of Beniamin in Ierusalem, vnto thys day.
This sentence is therefore repeated, because now the wars of the tribe of Judah are declared, of which wars, Caleb without doubt was the captain. Wherefore here is declared what he obtained. Namely those things which God would have done (as he had spoken by Moses) as it is written in the first chap. of Deut. and .xiii. chap. of Num. and xiiii. and xxv. chap. of Joshua. But that which is written after it how that the children of Benjamin did not caste out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem, but dwelled together with them, pertaineth to those things, which the other tribes had to do with the Canaanites, and it beginneth with Benjamin for this cause, because that tribe was next to Judah, yea and that which is now written of Benjamin, 1is declared of the tribe of Judah in the book of Joshua toward the end of the xv. chap. And I think that that was therefore done, because the city of Jerusalem was in the limit of both the tribes, and was inhabited together both of them of Judah, and also of the Beniamites. Yea and some affirm that the part of the city where the temple stood belonged to the tribe of Benjamin, and to that purpose do they wrest that, which Jacob the Patriarch said on his death bed, when he blessed his son Benjamin: Benjamin is a ravening wolf, early taking his pray, in the morning, and dividing the spoils at even: thinking this oracle to belong to the morning and evening sacrifices of the Temple. But how truly they so do, I will not now reason. But yet they are not so far out of the way, as Augustine, which drew the saying of the Patriarch to Paul the Apostle, because he was of the tribe of Benjamin.
