And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:

And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.

By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.

Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their hand.

Their enemies also oppressed them - Septuagint, "Afflicted them," They invaded their country; they destroyed their vintages; they laid desolate their land; they made them captives.
And they were brought into subjection - Hebrew, made to bow.

Their enemies also oppressed them,.... By taxes, and taking the increase of their fields and sustenance, which often obliged them to cry for a deliverer, who upon this was sent to them; see Judges 2:9.
And they were brought into subjection under their hand; or were humbled under their hand, as the Targum; they were not only made to submit to their enemies, but they were humbled before the Lord; brought to a sense of their sins, and acknowledgment of them, when the Lord appeared for their deliverance, as follows.
