Giudici 15:10 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 15:10

And the men of Judah said
To the Philistines, very probably by a deputation, which they sent unto them, to know the reason of this formidable appearance:

why are ye come up against us?
in this hostile manner, with such a number of forces, since they were not conscious to themselves that they had done anything to offend them; they had not attempted to cast off their yoke, they quietly submitted to their government, and had paid their whole tribute, as Josephus F6 represents them saying; they could not imagine what should be the meaning of all this:

and they answered, to bind Samson are we come up;
that is, to oblige them to bind him, and deliver him into their hands:

to do to him as he hath done to us:
to put him to death, as he had slain many of their people in the last rencounter with them.

8 Ed egli li percosse con grande sconfitta, percotendoli con la coscia in su i fianchi. Poi discese, e si fermò nella caverna della rupe di Etam.
9 E i Filistei salirono, e si accamparono in Giuda, e si sparsero in Lehi.
10 E gli uomini di Giuda dissero: Perchè siete voi saliti contro a noi? Ed essi dissero: Noi siamo saliti per far prigione Sansone; acciocchè facciamo a lui, come egli ha fatto a noi.
11 E tremila uomini di Giuda discesero nella caverna della rupe di Etam, e dissero a Sansone: Non sai tu che i Filistei signoreggiano sopra noi? Che cosa è dunque questo che tu ci hai fatto? Ed egli disse loro: Come hanno fatto a me, così ho fatto a loro.
12 Ed essi gli dissero: Noi siamo discesi per farti prigione, per darti nelle mani dei Filistei. E Sansone disse loro: Giuratemi che voi non vi avventerete sopra me.
