J U D G E S CHAP. XIV. The idea which this chapter gives us of Samson is not what one might have expected concerning one who, by the special designation of heaven, was a Nazarite to God and a deliverer of Israel; and yet really he was both. Here is, I. Samson's courtship of a daughter of the Philistines, and his marriage to her, Judges 14:1-5 ; Judges 14:7 ; Judges 14:8 . II. His conquest of a lion, and the prize he found in the carcase of it, Judges 14:5 ; Judges 14:6 ; Judges 14:8 ; Judges 14:9 . III. Samson's riddle proposed to his companions ( Judges 14:10-14 ) and unriddled by the treachery of his wife, Judges 14:15-18 . IV. The occasion this gave him to kill thirty of the Philistines ( Judges 14:19 ) and to break off his new alliance, Judges 14:20 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-9" class="com-number"
