Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Judges 14:1-20

SAMSON’S FIRST DEALINGS WITH THE PHILISTINES(Judges 14:1-20.)CRITICAL NOTES.— Judges 14:1. Timnath.] This was a town on the frontier which, like many other towns had been at first assigned to Judah to subdue and occupy (Joshua 15:57), but as Dan had too small a territory for its people, it and other towns were transferred to Dan. It is referred to in Joshua 15:43, also in ch. Judges 15:10. It was only a few miles from Samson’s mountain home, and though it should have all along belonged to the... read more

Judges 14:5 . A young lion roared against him. To kill a lion placed a man among the first of heroes. He, like Hercules, mostly wore the skin as a proud trophy of victory. Old Æneas says, that he... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Judges 14:1-20

Judges 14:1-20Samson went down to Timnath.Samson’s first loveIn considering Samson’s choice of a wife, we are conscious of a feeling of painful disappointment. In choosing a Philistine, we begin to see his lower nature acting the tyrant. But it were well if domestic history in modern times did not present many instances of similar stubbornness. In such matters, the fancy of young people is often the supreme law. Samson’s falling in love was in the ordinary way: “And he saw a woman of Tinmath,”... read more
