ExplanationCommentary
Verse 28. Revenge myself. This desire of revenge was out of zeal for justice against the enemies of God and his people; and not out of private rancour and malice of heart. Challoner.—He was judge of his people, and concerned for their wrongs: God, by miracle, testified that he approved of his sentiments. Calmet.—Septuagint insinuates that the cry of Samson was accompanied with tears, (eklause.) It was the cry of the heart, which is most eloquent with God. Hebrew and Septuagint “strengthen me yet this once, O God, and I will repay,” and so forth Bible.
