SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:14
Y cuando vino hasta Lehi, los filisteos le salieron a recibir con alarido; y el espíritu del SEÑOR cayó sobre él, y las cuerdas que estaban en sus brazos se volvieron como lino quemado con fuego, y las ataduras se cayeron de sus manos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 15:14
Verse 14. When he came unto Lehi] This was the name of the place to which they brought him, either to put him to death, or keep him in perpetual confinement. Shouted against him] His capture was a matter of public rejoicing.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And when he came unto Lehi , etc.] The place which was afterwards so called, from what happened there at this time, and where the Philistines were spread, ( Judges 15:9) this, according to Bunting f314 , was six miles from Etam: the Philistines shouted against him : for joy that they had got him into their hands, and in the circumstances he was, being bound, so that they had nothing to fear from him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him : as it at times did, and had done before; the Targum is, “the Spirit of might from the Lord,” which gave him courage and resolution of mind, and great strength of body, even while he was speaking, as a token of the wonders God more than he had at other times: and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire ; as easily parted as the flax when fire takes it, which is consumed at once: and his bonds loosed off from his hands ; by which it appears that both arms and hands were bound with the cords; his arms were pinioned close to his body, as well as his hands were tied together; and these, as in the original, “melted away” f315 , like wax before the fire, or snow before the sun, so easily were these bands separated from him; this may be an emblem of Christ’s loosing himself from the cords of death, ( Acts 2:24).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-17 - Sin dispirits men, it hides from their eyes the things that belong to their peace. The Israelites blamed Samson for what he had done agains the Philistines, as if he had done them a great injury. Thus our Lor Jesus did many good works, and for those the Jews were ready to ston him. When the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, his cords wer loosed: where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, and thos are free indeed who are thus set free. Thus Christ triumphed over the powers of darkness that shouted against him, as if they had him in their power. Samson made great destruction among the Philistines. To take the bone of an ass for this, was to do wonders by the foolis things of the world, that the excellency of the power might be of God not of man. This victory was not in the weapon, was not in the arm; but it was in the Spirit of God, which moved the weapon by the arm. We can do all things through Him that strengtheneth us. Seest thou a poor Christian, who is enabled to overcome a temptation by weak, feebl counsel, there is the Philistine vanquished by a sorry jaw-bone.
