Seventh day — They had doubtless spoken to her before this time, but with some remissness, supposing that they should find it out; but now their time being nigh slipped, they put her under a necessity of searching it out. To take that we have — That is, to strip us of our garments. |
Judges 14:15
And it came to pass (g) on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? [is it] not [so]?
(g) Or as the seventh day drew near, for it was the fourth day. |
- on the seventh day:
- The LXX reads "on the fourth day;" with which the Syriac and Arabic agree. This, as Dr. Wall observes, is certainly right; for it appears from
Judges 14:17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
, that she wept the remainder of the seven days; for which there could have been no time, if they did not threaten her till the seventh.
