Judges 15:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The Philistines shouted against him Because they had now, as they supposed, their enemy in their hands. The cords became as flax, &c. As easily broken by him. His bands loosed from off his hands Hebrew, were melted; that is, were dissolved as things which are melted in the fire. “This,” says Henry, “typified the resurrection of Christ, by the power of the Spirit of holiness. In this he loosed the bands of death, it being impossible he should be holden of them. And thus he triumphed over the power of darkness, which had shouted against him.”

14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosedc from off his hands.
