Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8. she bound him with them-probably in a sportive manner, to try whether he was jesting or in earnest.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:4-17 Samson had been more than once brought into mischief and danger by the love of women, yet he would not take warning, but is again taken in the same snare, and this third time is fatal. Licentiousness is one of the things that take away the heart. This is a deep pit into which many have fallen; but from which few have escaped, and those by a miracle of mercy, with the loss of reputation and usefulness, of almost all, except their souls. The anguish of the suffering is ten thousand times greater than all the pleasures of the sin.

Judges 16:7 Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

Judges 16:9 Now she had men lying in wait in an inner room. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the cords as a string of tow snaps when it touches fire. So his strength was not discovered. (NASB ©1995)
