Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Judges 14:1-20

Judges 14:1 All transitions are dangerous; and the most dangerous is the transition from the restraint of the family circle to the non-restraint of the world. Herbert Spencer. Reference. XIV. 4. J. N. Norton, Golden Truths, p. 369. Judges 14:5-6 God never gives strength, but he employs it. Poverty meets one like an armed man; infamy, like some furious mastiff, comes flying in the face of another; the wild boar out of the forest, or the bloody tiger of persecution, sets on one; the brawling... read more

5SAMSON PLUNGING INTO LIFEJudges 13:24-25; Judges 14:1-20Or all who move before us in the Book of Judges Samson is preeminently the popular hero. In rude giant strength and wild daring he stands alone against the enemies of Israel, contemptuous of their power and their plots. It is just such a man who catches the public eye and lives in the traditions of a country. Most Hebrews of the time minded piety and culture as little as did the Norsemen when they first professed Christianity. Both races... read more

CHAPTER 14 The First Deeds of Samson 1. The woman in Timnath (Judges 14:1-4 ) 2. The killing of the young lion and the honey in the carcass (Judges 14:5-9 ) 3. The marriage feast and the riddle (Judges 14:10-14 ) 4. The riddle answered (Judges 14:15-18 ) 5. Thirty Philistines slain by Samson (Judges 14:19-20 ) Samson was called of God to be a true Nazarite, but in his life which was to manifest the Nazarite character he failed. “He went down to Timnath” is a foreboding beginning. It... read more

14:19 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down {l} to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.(l) Which was one of the five chief cities of the Philistines. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Judges 14:1-20

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

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 14:19

And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house. I beg the Reader, not only in confirmation of what I said before, but also by way of keeping his eye on the whole history of Samson, as typical of some of the great outlines of redemption, to observe again in this place, that like our Jesus,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Judges 14:20

But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend. This is just as might have been expected. And is it not so now, and in every age? Is not the friendship of the world enmity with God? James 4:4 . And though Jesus hath so dearly purchased his church, and redeemed her with his blood; yet how often is she given to another, and in bondage. REFLECTIONS I WOULD pass over all other considerations in the perusal of this Chapter, to discover every feature which I can trace in... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Judges 14:19

Riddle. Samson must no longer be considered as a private man. He was authorized by the Spirit of the Lord, thus to punish the oppressors of Israel. (Calmet) --- Though these 30 men had done him no injury in person, (Haydock) they had sinned against God, and deserved to die. (Salien) --- He slew them publicly in the city (Menochius) though others believe that he did it in the neighbouring country, as it does not appear that the people knew of their death. (Calmet) read more

Companions, the chief friends of the bridegroom, (John iii. 29,) the paranymph. (St. Ambrose) (Calmet) --- Protestants, "But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend." It seems her father had supposed, from Samson's keeping away for a long time, that he had abandoned her. (Haydock) --- But, though he offered some sort of recompense, (Menochius) he justly fell a victim to the people's rage, who abhorred adultery, (Calmet) and were irritated at the persecution... read more
