Expositor's Bible Commentary - Judges 15:1-20

DAUNTLESS IN BATTLE, IGNORANTLY BRAVEJudges 15:1-20GIVEN a man of strong passions and uninstructed conscience, wild courage and giant energy, with the sense of a mission which he has to accomplish against his country’s enemies, so that he reckons himself justified in doing them injury or killing them in the name of God, and you have no complete hero, but a real and interesting man. Such a character, however, does not command our admiration. The enthusiasm we feel in tracing the career of... read more

CHAPTER 15 The Conflict with the Philistines: Bound Yet Free 1. The damage done to the Philistines (Judges 15:1-8 ) 2. Bound by his own brethren (Judges 15:9-13 ) 3.

Geneva Study Bible - Judges 15:18

15:18 And he was sore athirst, and {k} called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?(k) By which it appears that he did these things in faith, and so with a true zeal to glorify God, and deliver his country. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Judges 15:1-20

SAMSON THE NAZARITE The close of chapter 12 furnishes the history of three other civil judges, and then we reach that of another warrior as picturesque as Gideon or Jephthah. Sampson’s life is so full of inconsistencies and mysteries from the divine standpoint, that again we can only await the explanations until we shall know as we are known. THE PROMISED SON (Judges 13:0 ) Here is another theophany, for “the angel of the Lord” is none other than Jehovah Jesus. The beginning of this... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Judges 15:1-20

Samson Light and Shadow Judges 14-16 IT would be unjust to consider this as a finished picture of the man of strength. In all that we have said we have endeavoured to establish by good reasoning and clear reference. But it would be unjust to pronounce upon any life after merely looking at a few incidental points in its course. That is a danger to which all criticism is exposed. We are prone to look upon vivid incidents, and to omit all the great breadths and spaces of the daily life, and to... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Judges 15:18

And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? The thirst of Jesus, on the cross, was no doubt peculiarly interesting. Samson's was from fatigue, and bodily necessity. Jesus' thirst seems to have been for the salvation of souls, for He had said in the evening before, that he would drink no more of the fruit of the vine until the day he... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Judges 15:18

Thirsty. St. Ambrose (ep. 19 or 70) follows Josephus, (Menochius) is supposing that the arrogance of Samson, in attributing the victory to his own strength, was thus punished. But others are more favourable to the hero, (Calmet) and suppose that his thirst was occasioned by the extraordinary fatigue. He sufficiently testifies that he had received all from God, (Menochius) and he is immediately favoured with another miracle. (Haydock) --- God is able to grant victory by the most feeble... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Judges 15:18-20

18-20 So little notice did the men of Judah take of their deliverer, that he was ready to perish for want of a draught of water. Thus are the greatest slights often put upon those who do the greatest services. Samson prayed to God in this distress. Those that forget to attend God their praises, may be compelled to attend him with their prayers. Past experiences of God's power and goodness, are excellent pleas in prayer for further mercy. He pleads his being exposed to God's enemies; our best... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Judges 15:9-20

Samson's Lone Victory v. 9. Then the Philistines, in order to take revenge for the slaughter inflicted upon them by Samson, went up, taking the field against Israel, and pitched in Judah, encamped in the territory of this tribe, and spread themselves in Lehi, probably on the road leading to the highlands of Judah from the southwest. v. 10. And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us, that is,... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Judges 15:9-20

The Philistines threaten war against Judah. The men of Judah, to save themselves, seek to deliver up Samson, who allows himself to be bound, but tears his bonds when brought in sight of the Philistines, and slays a thousand of the enemy.Judges 15:9-20.9Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in [encamped against] Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. 10And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind [i. e., to capture] Samson are we come up, to do to him... read more
