Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 15 of Judges. The Philistines come against Judah, and the men of Judah hand Samson over to avoid conflict. Samson agrees to be bound and taken to his enemies. The scene shows Judah’s passivity in the face of oppression and Samson’s willingness to confront the Philistines alone. The deliverer once again appears as an isolated figure rather than the leader of a national mobilization.

Da zogen dreitausend Mann von Juda hinab in die Steinkluft zu Etam und sprachen zu Simson: Weißt du nicht, daß die Philister über uns herrschen? Warum hast du denn das an uns getan? Er sprach zu ihnen: Wie sie mir getan haben, so habe ich ihnen wieder getan.
Y vinieron tres mil hombres de Judá a la cueva de la peña de Etam, y dijeron a Samsón: ¿No sabes tú que los Filisteos dominan sobre nosotros? ¿por qué nos has hecho esto? Y él les respondió: Yo les he hecho como ellos me hicieron.
Tres mil hombres de Judá bajaron a la hendidura de la roca de Etam y le dijeron a Sansón: «¿No sabes que los filisteos dominan sobre nosotros? ¿Qué es esto que nos has hecho?». Él les respondió: «Les he hecho lo mismo que ellos me hicieron».
Sur quoi trois mille hommes de Juda descendirent à la caverne du rocher d'Etam, et dirent à Samson: Ne sais-tu pas que les Philistins dominent sur nous? Que nous as-tu donc fait? Il leur répondit: Je les ai traités comme ils m'ont traité.
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.
Então três mil homens de Judá desceram até a fenda da rocha de Etã, e disseram a Sansão: Não sabias tu que os filisteus dominam sobre nós? Por que, pois, nos fizeste isto? E ele lhes disse: Assim como eles me fizeram a mim, eu lhes fiz a eles.
