Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 14:19-20

_ _ Judges 14:19, Judges 14:20. He slays thirty Philistines.

_ _ went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them — This town was about twenty-four miles west by southwest from Timnah; and his selection of this place, which was dictated by the Divine Spirit, was probably owing to its bitter hostility to Israel.

_ _ took their spoil — The custom of stripping a slain enemy was unknown in Hebrew warfare.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 14:10-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 14:19

The spirit came — Though he had constant strength and courage; yet that was exceedingly increased upon special occasions, by the extraordinary influences of God's spirit. To Ashkelon — Either to the territory; or to the city itself, where he had both strength and courage enough to attempt what follows; and upon the doing hereof they were doubtless struck with such terror, that every one sought only to preserve himself, and none durst pursue him. His anger was kindled — For the treachery of his wife and companions. He went — Without his wife. It were well for us, if the unkindnesses we meet with from the world, and our disappointments therein has this good effect on us, to oblige us to return by faith and prayer, to our heavenly father's house.
