Judges 16:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Samson is guilty both of the sin of lying, though he dress up the lie in such circumstances as might make it most probable; and of great folly, in encouraging her inquiries, which he should at first have checked: but as he had forsaken God, so God had now forsaken him, and deprived him of common prudence; otherwise the frequent repetition and vehement urging of this question might easily have raised suspicion in him.

Judges 16:7

7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven greend withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
