Judges 14:3-4
_ _ Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren — that is, “of thine own tribe” — a Danite woman.
_ _ Samson said ... Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well — literally, “she is right in mine eyes”; not by her beautiful countenance or handsome figure, but right or fit for his purpose. And this throws light on the historian’s remark in reference to the resistance of his parents: they “knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines” — rather, “from the Philistines” — originating on their side. The Lord, by a course of retributive proceedings, was about to destroy the Philistine power, and the means which He meant to employ was not the forces of a numerous army, as in the case of the preceding judges, but the miraculous prowess of the single-handed champion of Israel. In these circumstances, the provocation to hostilities could only spring out of a private quarrel, and this marriage scheme was doubtless suggested by the secret influence of the Spirit as the best way of accomplishing the intended result. |
Judges 14:3
Philistines — With whom the Israelites were forbidden to marry. For although the Philistines were not Canaanites in their original, yet they were so in their concurrence with them in wickedness, and therefore were liable to the same judgments with them. Get her — This action of Samson's, though against common rules, seems to be warranted, by the direction of God, (mentioned in the following words) which was known to Samson, but not to his parents. Pleaseth me — Not so much for her beauty, as for the design mentioned in the next verse. |
Judges 14:3
Then his father and his mother said unto him, [Is there] (a) never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
(a) Though his parents justly reprove him, yet it appears that this was the secret work of the Lord, (Judges 14:4). |

1 Samuel 17:26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
