He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 10. Sword; holding it, and exerting himself so long; (Sanctius) or on account of the blood, which glued, as it were, his hand to the sword. Joseph. Menochius.—This verse, and as far as troop in the following, is omitted in 1 Par.; so that Semma is not so much as mentioned, ( Bible.) and of course the number thirty seven cannot be found. Ken.—Perhaps Samaoth may be the same hero. 1 Chronicles 2:27 and 27:8. Calmet.
