Maka berkuasalah Roh TUHAN atas dia, lalu pergilah ia ke Askelon dan dibunuhnya tiga puluh orang di sana, diambilnya pakaian mereka dan diberikannya pakaian-pakaian kebesaran itu kepada orang-orang yang dapat memberi jawab teka-teki itu. Tetapi amarahnya masih juga bernyala-nyala, lalu pulanglah ia ke rumah ayahnya.
Maka pada masa itu datanglah Roh Tuhan atasnya, lalu turunlah Simson kepada orang Askelon, dibunuhnya dari pada mereka itu tiga puluh orang, setelah itu diambilnya pakaian sekaliannya, diberikannya akan persalin kepada orang yang telah mendapat arti penerkanya, tetapi berbangkitlah juga amarahnya, maka sebab itu pergilah ia ke hulu, ke rumah bapanya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him,.... The Spirit of might from the Lord, as the Targum; which filled him with zeal and courage, animating him to the following undertaking, and increased his bodily strength to perform it:
and he went down to Ashkelon; one of the five principal cities of the Philistines; it lay near the Mediterranean sea, and, according to Bunting r, was twenty four miles from Timnath; why he went so far, is not easy to say; some think there was some grand solemnity or festival observed there at this time, which he knew of, when persons put on their best suits of apparel, and such he wanted: and slew thirty men of them; in vindication of which, it may be observed, that Samson was now raised up of God to be judge of Israel; and that he acted now as such, and under the direction and impulse of the Spirit of God, and the persons he slew were the common enemies of Israel; and if now observing a festival in honour of their gods, they were justly cut off for their idolatry:
and took their spoil; their clothes off their backs, stripped them of their apparel, and even of their shirts, all which he brought away with him: and here it may be observed, that though Samson was a Nazarite, yet not a common one, and was an extraordinary person, and not in all things bound to the law of the Nazarites; at least that law was dispensed with in various instances relative to him, as taking honey out of the carcass of the lion, and here stripping dead bodies which were defiling, and other things:
and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle; to the thirty companions, to whom it was proposed, each man a suit of apparel taken from the thirty men he slew at Ashkelon, and sheets or shirts also no doubt, though not expressed. Indeed some have thought, because they did not find out the riddle of themselves, he did not give them the whole premium, and that by their own consent:
and his anger was kindled; against his wife, for her treachery and unfaithfulness to him, and against his companions for their deceitful usage of him, and against the citizens of the place, who perhaps laughed at him, being thus tricked and deceived:
and he went up to his father's house; left his wife, and her relations, and his companions, and the men of Timnath, and betook himself to his father's house again, as if he had been never married; his parents very probably had returned before him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 14:19. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him — "The spirit of fortitude from before the Lord."-Targum. He was inspired with unusual courage, and he felt strength proportioned to his wishes.
He - slew thirty men - and took their spoils — He took their hayks, their kumjas, and caftans, and gave them to the thirty persons who, by unfair means, had solved his riddle; thus they had what our version calls thirty sheets, and thirty changes of raiment. Judges 1:14; Judges 1:14- :.
