Judges 15
15:1 But
it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson
visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will
a
go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
(
a) That is, I will use her as my wife.
15:3 And Samson said
concerning them, Now shall I be more
b
blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
(
b) For through his father-in-law's actions, he
was moved again to take vengeance on the Philistines.
15:5 And when he had set the
brands on fire, he let [them] go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and
burnt up both the
c shocks, and also the
standing corn, with the vineyards [and] olives.
(
c) Or, that which was reaped and gathered.
15:6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this?
And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the
d
Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the
Philistines came up, and
e burnt her and
her father with fire.
(
d) Or, the citizen of Timnath.
(
e) So the wicked do not punish vice for love of
justice, but for fear of danger, which also might come to them.
15:10
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To
f
bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
(
f) And so being our prisoner to punish him.
15:11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the
top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines
[are] rulers over us?
g what [is] this
[that] thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so
have I done unto them.
(
g) Such was their gross ignorance, that they
judged God's great benefits to be a plague to them.
15:13 And they spake unto
him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and
h
deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound
him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
(
h) Thus they would rather betray their brother
than use the means that God had given for their deliverance.
15:15 And he found a
i
new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand
men therewith.
(
i) That is, of an ass recently slain.
15:18
And he was sore athirst, and
k called on
the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy
servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the
uncircumcised?
(
k) By which it appears that he did these things
in faith, and so with a true zeal to glorify God, and deliver his country.
