“And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:”
The Amorites pressed the Danites into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the plain. — The Danite failure represents a dramatic reversal: rather than incomplete conquest, Dan faced active military containment. The Amorites prevented Dan from descending to the agricultural plain, indicating that territorial expansion faced active resistance from organized populations. The verb 'pressed' suggests sustained military pressure rather than temporary skirmishing.
