They - Not the lords of the Philistines, but the Beth - shemites, the priest that dwelt there. Offered the kine - There may seem to he a double error in this act. First, that they offered females for a burnt - offering, contrary to Lev 1:3. Secondly, that they did it in a forbidden place, Deu 12:5-6. But this case being extraordinary, may in some sort excuse it, if they did not proceed by ordinary rules. 1 Kings (1 Samuel) 6:18
