Context — Samson’s Riddle
8When Samson returned later to take her, he left the road to see the lion’s carcass, and in it was a swarm of bees, along with their honey.
9So he scooped some honey into his hands and ate it as he went along. And when he returned to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s carcass.
10Then his father went to visit the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, as was customary for the bridegroom.
11And when the Philistines saw him, they selected thirty men to accompany him. 12“Let me tell you a riddle,” Samson said to them. “If you can solve it for me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.Cross References

Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the royal palace of King Xerxes. On the seventh day, when the king’s heart was merry with wine, he ordered the seven eunuchs who served him—Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas— to bring Queen Vashti before him, wearing her royal crown, to display her beauty to the people and officials. For she was beautiful to behold. Queen Vashti, however, refused to come at the king’s command brought by his eunuchs. And the king became furious, and his anger burned within him. Then the king consulted the wise men who knew the times, for it was customary for him to confer with the experts in law and justice. His closest advisors were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media who had personal access to the king and ranked highest in the kingdom. “According to law,” he asked, “what should be done with Queen Vashti, since she refused to obey the command of King Xerxes delivered by the eunuchs?” And in the presence of the king and his princes, Memucan replied, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king, but all the princes and the peoples in all the provinces of King Xerxes. For the conduct of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to despise their husbands and say, ‘King Xerxes ordered Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she did not come.’ This very day the noble women of Persia and Media who have heard about the queen’s conduct will say the same thing to all the king’s officials, resulting in much contempt and wrath. So if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree, and let it be recorded in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti shall never again enter the presence of King Xerxes, and that her royal position shall be given to a woman better than she. The edict the king issues will be heard throughout his vast kingdom—and so all women, from the least to the greatest, will honor their husbands.” The king and his princes were pleased with this counsel; so the king did as Memucan had advised. He sent letters to all the provinces of the kingdom, to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language, proclaiming that every man should be master of his own household. |

Judges 14:10 Summary
In Judges 14:10, Samson's father visits the woman Samson wants to marry, and Samson prepares a feast to celebrate their upcoming wedding. This feast is a time of joy and celebration, but it also shows how Samson is following the customs of the people around him, even if they don't always align with God's will (Deuteronomy 7:3-4). As believers, we can learn from Samson's example to be mindful of the influences in our lives and to seek God's wisdom in our relationships and decisions (Proverbs 3:5-6). By following God's guidance, we can avoid compromising our values and convictions, and instead, live a life that honors Him (Psalm 119:105).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Samson's father go to visit the woman in Judges 14:10?
Samson's father went to visit the woman because Samson had decided to marry her, as seen in the context of Judges 14:2, where Samson told his parents to get the woman for him as a wife.
What kind of feast did Samson prepare in Judges 14:10?
Samson prepared a feast that was customary for a bridegroom, which was a traditional celebration for the groom before the wedding, similar to the wedding feast in John 2:1-11 where Jesus attended and performed a miracle.
Is there any spiritual significance to the feast in Judges 14:10?
The feast in this verse may be seen as a symbol of the joy and celebration that comes with union and covenant, much like the marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation 19:7-9, where believers will celebrate their union with Christ.
How does Samson's actions in this verse relate to his character?
Samson's actions in preparing a feast show his desire to follow customs and traditions, but also his lack of discernment and wisdom, as seen in his decision to marry a Philistine woman despite his parents' reservations in Judges 14:3, which goes against the teachings in Deuteronomy 7:3-4 and 2 Corinthians 6:14.
Reflection Questions
- What are some customs or traditions that I follow without fully understanding their significance, and how can I apply biblical wisdom to these areas of my life?
- In what ways can I, like Samson, be more mindful of the company I keep and the influences that shape my decisions, as warned in 1 Corinthians 15:33 and Proverbs 22:24-25?
- How can I balance my desire for celebration and joy with the need for wisdom and discernment in my relationships and decisions, as seen in Proverbs 10:9 and Ecclesiastes 7:16-18?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be compromising my values or convictions, like Samson's decision to marry a Philistine woman, and how can I seek God's guidance and wisdom in these areas, as encouraged in Psalm 119:105 and Proverbs 3:5-6?
Gill's Exposition on Judges 14:10
So his father went down unto the woman,.... At Timnath, whom Samson had espoused; the Targum is, "about the business of the woman;'' about the consummation of the marriage with her; they all three
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Judges 14:10
So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. His father went down. The father is mentioned as the head and representative of Samson's relatives.
Trapp's Commentary on Judges 14:10
Judges 14:10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.Ver. 10. So his father went down to the woman.] To warn her of the wedding, and that she might make ready. For so used the young men to do,] sc., When they were married. And surely a feast can never be more seasonable than at the recovery of the lost rib: only let it be kept without dancing, dalliance, and other such disorders.
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 14:10
(10) Went down unto the woman.—Formally, to claim her as the bride of his son. Made there a feast.—According to the universal custom in all ages (Genesis 29:22; Revelation 19:9). The LXX. add the words “seven days.” (Comp. Genesis 29:27.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 14:10
Verse 10. Samson made there a feast] The marriage feast, when he went to marry his espoused wife.
Cambridge Bible on Judges 14:10
10. his father] Again, an insertion. If the father was out of place in Judges 14:5, he is more impossible at this stage. Originally the text ran and he went down … and made, or and Samson went down … and made. a feast] The LXX adds of seven days, perhaps merely an inference from Judges 14:12. The young men mean bridegrooms. It was customary for the wedding feast to be held in the bridegroom’s home (cf. 2Es 9:47, Tob 8:19 f., Judges 11:19, St Matthew 22:2); in the present case, however, Samson gave the feast in the bride’s village, if not in her father’s house, Judges 14:15.
Barnes' Notes on Judges 14:10
Made a feast ... - This was the wedding-feast, protracted in this instance seven days, in that of Tobias (Tobit 8:19) fourteen days.
Whedon's Commentary on Judges 14:10
10. Samson made there a feast — The marriage feast lasted seven days, (Genesis 29:27,) at the close of which the bridegroom led his bride in joyful procession from her father’s house to his own, or to the house of his father.
