ExplanationCommentary
Verse 3. Evils. This is a declaration of war, made by Samson in person, against a whole nation. Bible.—He does not wish to engage his countrymen in the quarrel, that they may not be more oppressed. God chose that he should weaken the Philistines by degrees. They had been apprised of the injustice done to Samson, and did not strive to hinder it, so that they all deserved to suffer. Grot. E. Calmet.
