Contextual Overview

1 Samson went downe to Thamnath, and sawe a woma in Thamnath of the daughters of the Philistines: 2 And he came vp, and told his father and his mother, & said: I haue sene a woman in Thamnath of the daughters of the Philistines: & nowe geue me her to wyfe. 3 Then his father and mother sayd vnto him: Is there neuer a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, & among al my people, but that thou must go, and take a wyfe of the vncircumcised Philistines? And Samson sayd vnto his father: Geue me this woman, for she pleaseth me well. 4 But his father and mother wist not that it was the Lordes doyng, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines raigned ouer Israel. 5 Then went Samson and his father & his mother downe to Thamnath, and came to the vineyardes of Thamnath: and beholde, a young Lion roared vpon him. 6 And the spirite of the Lord came vpo him, and he tare him as he would haue rent a kydde, and yet had nothing in his hande: neither tolde his father and mother what he had done. 7 And he went downe, & talked with the woman, whiche seemed well fauoured in the sight of Samson. 8 And within a short space after, as he wet thyther againe to take her to wife, he turned out of the way to see the carkasse of the Lion: And beholde, there was a swarme of bees and hony in the carkasse of the Lion. 9 And he toke therof in his handes, and went eating, and came to his father and mother, and gaue them also, and they did eate: But he tolde not them that he had taken the hony out of the carkasse of the Lion.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Samson went down to Timnath,.... A city which by lot fell to the tribe of Judah, but was afterwards given to the tribe of Dan, and now in the hands of the Philistines,

Joshua 15:57. Judah is said to go up to it, because the place where he lived lay below it, Genesis 38:13, but Samson is said to go down to it, because he lived above it. The Jews t differ about the reconciliation of these two places; some say there were two of this name, the one is a descent, and the other is an ascent; others say there was but one, so situated, that they that came to it on one side ascended, and they that came to it on the other side descended. Bochart u approves of the former. According to Bunting w, this was twelve miles from Eshtaol, where Samson lived:

and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines; who at this time dwelt there; he saw no doubt many other women besides her, but he took special notice of her, and entertained a particular affection for her; or, in other words, on sight of her fell in love with her.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Timnath - See Joshua 15:10 and note. It was below Zorah Judges 13:2, about three miles S. W. of it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XIV

Samson marries a wife of the Philistines, 1-4.

Slays a young lion at Timnath, in the carcass of which he

afterwards finds a swarm of bees, 5-9.

He makes a feast; they appoint him thirty companions, to whom

he puts forth a riddle, which they cannot expound, 10-14.

They entice his wife to get the interpretation from him; she

succeeds, informs them, and they tell the explanation, 15-18.

He is incensed, and slays thirty of the Philistines, 19, 20.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIV

Verse Judges 14:1. Went down to Timnath — A frontier town of the Philistines, at the beginning of the lands belonging to the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:57; but afterwards given up to Dan, Joshua 19:43. David took this place from the Philistines, but they again got possession of it in the reign of Ahaz, 2 Chronicles 28:18.
