Jueces 14:20 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 14:20

But Samson's wife was given to his companion
By her father, and with her consent, both being affronted and provoked by Samson leaving her, who judged her not only to be injured, but hereby discharged from him, and free to marry another:

and whom he had used as his friend;
though there were thirty of them that were his companions, yet there was one of them that was the principal of them, and was the most intimate with him, whom he used in the most friendly manner, and admitted to a more free conversation than the rest, the same that is called the friend of the bridegroom, ( John 3:29 ) while the others were called the children of the bridechamber, ( Matthew 9:15 ) . It is not unlikely that this person had too much intimacy with Samson's wife before, and so had the secret of the riddle from her, and so very readily married her, as soon as Samson departed; and all this furnished out an occasion and opportunity, which Samson sought for, to be revenged on the Philistines, as in the following chapter.

Jueces 14:20 In-Context

18 Entonces, ese séptimo día, antes de que se pusiera el sol, los hombres de la ciudad se acercaron a Sansón con su respuesta:
—¿Qué es más dulce que la miel?
¿Qué es más fuerte que un león?
Y Sansón respondió:
—¡Si no hubieran arado con mi novilla, jamás habrían descifrado mi acertijo!

19 Entonces el Espíritu del Señor
vino con poder sobre Sansón, quien descendió a la ciudad de Ascalón, mató a treinta hombres, les quitó las pertenencias, y dio la ropa a los hombres que habían resuelto el acertijo. Pero Sansón estaba furioso por lo que había sucedido y se volvió a la casa de sus padres, a vivir con ellos.

20 Entonces su mujer fue dada en matrimonio a quien había sido el padrino de Sansón en la boda.
