Judges 14:20

Verse 20. Companions, the chief friends of the bridegroom, (John 3:29,) the paranymph. Saint Ambrose Calmet.—Prot. “But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.” It seems her father had supposed, from Samson’s keeping away for a long time, that he had abandoned her. Bible.—But, though he offered some sort of recompense, ( Menochius.) he justly fell a victim to the people’s rage, who abhorred adultery, ( Calmet.) and were irritated at the persecution which he had brought upon them. Calmet. 15:2. 6. Bible.
