18:2 Zorah and Eshtaol: Scouts were selected from the area where the Spirit of the Lord began to stir Samson (13:25). The mention of the two towns is a grim reminder that what began with Samson had not been completed, either by his own tribe (Dan) or by their powerful neighbor (Judah). These capable warriors, rather than fighting the Lord’s battles, bullied their fellow Israelites (18:24-25) and attacked a defenseless city (18:27; cp. Gen 49:17).
