Jueces 14:7 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 14:7

And he went down, and talked with the woman
Entered into a conversation with her, that he might the better judge of her other qualifications, besides that of outward form and beauty, whether she would be a suitable yoke fellow for him; and he talked with her about marriage, and proposed it to her, or talked about her to her father and near relations; and, as the Targum expresses it, asked the woman, not only asked of her consent, but demanded her of her friends: it may refer, as Abarbinel observes, to his father, that he went down and talked with the woman and with her relations about her, concerning the affair of his son's marriage with her:

and she pleased Samson well;
he liked her conversation as well as her person, and the more he conversed with her, the more agreeable she was to him, and the more desirous he was to marry her. Though some observe from hence, that she did not please the father of Samson as himself; so Abarbinel.

Jueces 14:7 In-Context

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.
6 Y el Esp铆ritu del SE脩OR vino sobre 茅l con gran poder, y lo despedaz贸 como se despedaza un cabrito, aunque no ten铆a nada en su mano; pero no cont贸 a su padre ni a su madre lo que hab铆a hecho.
7 Descendi贸 y habl贸 con la mujer; y ella le agrad贸 a Sans贸n.
8 Cuando regres贸 m谩s tarde para tomarla, se apart贸 del camino para ver el cad谩ver del le贸n; y he aqu铆 que hab铆a un enjambre de abejas y miel en el cuerpo del le贸n.
9 Recogi贸 la miel en sus manos y sigui贸 adelante, comi茅ndola mientras caminaba. Cuando lleg贸 adonde estaban su padre y su madre, les dio miel y ellos comieron; pero no les cont贸 que hab铆a recogido la miel del cuerpo del le贸n.
