Judges 15:11

Then three thousand men of Judah, blind to the fact that they had, in Samson, a leader of incomparable strength and energy, under whose leadership they might easily have thrown off the bondage of the Philistines, went to the top of the rock Etam and said to Samson, in a statement which laid bare the cowardliness of their hearts, bound in idolatry as they were, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? What is this that thou hast done unto us? They rebuked him for a reckless fool, who was bringing trouble upon all their heads. And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them. He found it necessary to apologize for his conduct to his own brethren, who refused to recognize in him their deliverer.
