Judges 15:11
15:11 Three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in the cliff of Etam and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? Why have you done this to us?” He said to them, “I have only done to them what they have done to me.”
Judges 20:45
20:45 The rest 1 turned and ran toward the wilderness, heading toward the cliff of Rimmon. But the Israelites 2 caught 3 five thousand of them on the main roads. They stayed right on their heels 4 all the way to Gidom and struck down two thousand more.

2 tn Heb “and they”; the referent (the Israelites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
