Exegesis
Dialogue introduction via vayomru {وַיֹּאמְרוּ | wayyōmrû} ‘they said’ leads into a rhetorical question framed by the interrogative-negation halo {הֲלֹא | hălōʾ} “is it not,” followed by yadata ki moshlim banu {יָדַעְתָּ כִּי־מֹשְׁלִים בָּנוּ | yāḏaʿtā kî mōšəlîm bānû} “you know that the Philistines rule over us.”

In context — Judges 15:11
Then three thousand men from Judah went down to the cleft of the rock at Etam and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines are ruling over us? What is this that you have done to us?” And he said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”
