Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Uncircumcised. Cf. Genesis 34:14. A term of reproach here added to deter Samson from the marriage. It is particularly applied to the Philistines (see Judges 15:18; - 1 Samuel 17:26, 36; 1 Samuel 18:29; 1 Samuel 31:4; 2 Samuel 1:20, etc.).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Of the uncircumcised Philistines.--This on the lips of Israelites was a term of peculiar hatred (1Samuel 17:36). How repugnant such a marriage would be in the eyes of Manoah and his wife we may see from the story of Simeon, Levi, and the Shechemites (Gen. xxxiv).She pleaseth me well.--Literally, she is right in my eyes (Judges 14:7; 1Kings 9:12).
