"The Lord had punished the children of Israel for their sins against him. He had delivered them into the hands of the Philistines. They had subjugated the people of Israel and exploited them with cruel efficiency. But the Philistines were also an advanced people. In a world of bronze, they had already discovered the secret of iron. And with iron, they crushed all disobedience quickly and mercilessly. God's punishment of the people of Israel was harsh, but he had not abandoned them, and their faith was strengthened in the struggle against their Philistine oppressors."
