Judges 15:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 15:11

9 Now the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and deployed themselves ^aagainst Lehi.

10 And the men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” So they answered, “We have come up to¹ arrest Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”

11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines ^arule over us? What is this you have done to us?” And he said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”

12 But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Then Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”

13 So they spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will tie you securely and deliver you into their hand; but we will surely not kill you.” And they bound him with two ^anew ropes and brought him up from the rock.
