Now this judge learns that his wife has been given to another man. This leads to stories of slaughters among the Philistines as Samson gets revenge. From a human standpoint, it is a terrible thing to read. Spiritually, we must remember that this is God’s judgment on the wickedness of the Philistines—an immoral, idolatrous people who refused the knowledge of the Lord. They also continually tempted Israel to be a part of their wicked society. They deserved no less than punishment. God’s name is to be honored by all—to the exclusion of all other names. There is no way to avoid eternal punishment if we refuse (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10). Let us learn and teach this.
