Contextual Overview

1 But within a while after, euen in the time of wheat haruest, Sason visited his wife with a kyd, saying: I wil go in to my wyfe into the chaumber. But her father woulde not suffer him to go in. 2 And her father sayde, I thought that thou haddest hated her, & therfore gaue I her to thy companion: Is not her younger sister fayrer then she? Take her I pray thee, in steade of the other. 3 Samson sayde vnto hym: Nowe am I more blamelesse then the Philistines, and therfore will I do them displeasure. 4 And Samson went out, and caught three hundred foxes, & toke firebrandes, and turned them tayle to tayle, and put a firebrand in the middes betweene two tayles. 5 And when he had set the brandes on fire, he sent them out into the standyng corne of the Philistines, & burnt vp both the reaped corne, and also the standing, with the vineyardes and oliues. 6 Then the Philistines sayd: Who hath done this? And they aunswered: Samson the sonne in lawe of the Thamnite, because he had taken his wife, & geuen her to his companion. And the Philistines came vp, and burnt her and her father with fire. 7 And Samson said vnto them: Though ye haue done this, yet will I be auenged of you, and then I will ceasse. 8 And he smote them legge and thygh with a myghtie plague, and then he went & dwelt in the toppe of the rocke Etam.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But it came to pass within a while after,.... Or "after days", a year after, the same phrase as in Judges 14:8 in the time of wheat harvest; which began at Pentecost, as barley harvest did at the passover; this circumstance is mentioned for the sake of the following piece of history:

that Samson visited his wife with a kid; by this time his passion of anger subsided, and he "remembered" his wife, as the Targum expresses it, and thought proper to return to her, and attempt a reconciliation with her; and for that purpose took a kid with him to eat a meal with her in her own apartment, which in those days was reckoned an elegant entertainment, and was a present to a king, 1 Samuel 16:20. Isidore s derives the Latin word for a kid, "ab edendo", from eating, as if it was food by way of eminency, as it is both savoury and wholesome:

and he said, I will go with my wife into the chamber; where she was, as women had their chambers and apartments by themselves; this he said within himself, or resolved in his own mind, and perhaps expressed it in her father's hearing, or however moved that way, which plainly indicated his design:

but her father would not suffer him to go in; placed himself perhaps between him and the door, and parleyed with him, and declared he should not go into his daughter's chamber; Samson, through his superior strength, could easily have pushed him away, and broke open the door, but he did not choose to use such violent methods, and patiently heard what he had to say, and submitted.

s Origin. l. 12. c. 1. p. 101.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Visited his wife with a kid - A common present (see Genesis 38:17; Luke 15:29). From Samson’s wife being still in her father’s house, it would seem that she was only betrothed, not actually married, to his companion.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XV

Samson, going to visit his wife, finds her bestowed on another,

1, 2.

He is incensed, vows revenge, and burns the corn of the

Philistines, 3-5.

They burn Samson's wife and her father, 6.

He is still incensed, makes a great slaughter among them, 7, 8.

The Philistines gather together against Israel, and to appease

them the men of Judah bind Samson, and deliver him into their

hands, 9-13.

The Spirit of the Lord comes upon him; he breaks his bonds,

finds the jaw-bone of an ass, and therewith kills a thousand

men, 14-16.

He is sorely fatigued; and, being thirsty, God miraculously

produces water from an opening of the ground in Lehi, and he

is refreshed, 17-19.

He judges Israel in the time of the Philistines twenty years,

20.

NOTES ON CHAP. XV

Verse Judges 15:1. Visited his wife with a kid — On her betraying him, he had, no doubt, left her in great disgust. After some time his affection appears to have returned; and, taking a kid, or perhaps a fawn, as a present, he goes to make reconciliation, and finds her given to his brideman; probably, the person to whom she betrayed his riddle.
