Jueces 14:1 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 14:1

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 ) ( 19:43 ) . 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 F20 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 F21 approves of the former. According to Bunting F23, 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.

Jueces 14:1 In-Context

1 Y Sans贸n descendi贸 a Timnat y vio all铆 a una mujer de las hijas de los filisteos.
2 Cuando regres贸, se lo cont贸 a su padre y a su madre, diciendo: Vi en Timnat a una mujer de las hijas de los filisteos; ahora pues, tom谩dmela por mujer.
3 Le respondieron su padre y su madre: 驴No hay mujer entre las hijas de tus parientes o entre todo nuestro pueblo, para que vayas a tomar mujer de los filisteos incircuncisos? Pero Sans贸n dijo a su padre: T贸mala para m铆, porque ella me agrada.
4 Y su padre y su madre no sab铆an que esto era del SE脩OR, porque El buscaba ocasi贸n contra los filisteos, pues en aquel tiempo los filisteos dominaban a Israel.
5 Y Sans贸n descendi贸 a Timnat con su padre y con su madre, y lleg贸 hasta los vi帽edos de Timnat; y he aqu铆, un le贸n joven ven铆a rugiendo hacia 茅l.
