And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
Ver. 25. Let not thy voice be heard.] Tace, si sapis. The noise of weapons drowns the voice of right. Lam 2:9 The law is no more.
Lest angry fellows run upon thee.] Irati et irritati, biliosi et bellicosi. Heb., Men bitter of soul. Gallice, Gens de cholere.
And thou lose thy life, &c.] Heb., Ne recolligas animam tuam: that is, lest God take thy soul to himself, as Vatablus rendereth it: lest thou be sent to heaven the sooner for thy devotion.
