JUDGES 15:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.”
Judah asks Samson, "Do you not know the Philistines are rulers over us?" This rhetorical question exposes his recklessness. The phrase acknowledges Philistine hegemony as established fact. Yet their acquiescence becomes implicit collaboration when they prepare to hand him over. Judahites view Samson not as liberator but as troublemaker endangering stability. Israel's subjugation means they police themselves for oppressors.
