Often as they were overpowered, the rude mountaineers always managed to regain their... independence and to harass their former masters by their incursions. Now at length their resistance seemed to have been quelled, and the fulfilment of Jahveh's saying insured, " The elder of Eebecca's sons shall serve the younger. "* But this hope was once more to be disappointed.
