Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 14:5-9

_ _ Judges 14:5-9. He kills a lion.

_ _ a young lionHebrew, a lion in the pride of his youthful prime. The wild mountain passes of Judah were the lairs of savage beasts; and most or all the “lions” of Scripture occur in that wild country. His rending and killing the shaggy monster, without any weapon in his hand, were accomplished by that superhuman courage and strength which the occasional influences of the Spirit enabled him to put forth, and by the exertion of which, in such private incidental circumstances, he was gradually trained to confide in them for the more public work to which he was destined.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 14:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 14:5

Father and mother — Who accompanied him, either because they were now acquainted with his design; or, to order the circumstances of that action which they saw he was set upon.
