That this signifies that they could not endure interior truths because of the Divine therein, is evident from the signification of "to go away from us," as being not to endure the presence; and from the signification of his being "much mightier," as being on account of his opulence; here, on account of the Divine that was in interior truths. (That they who are called "Philistines" cannot endure the presence of good, thus not the presence of the Divine, may be seen above, n. 3413.)
