Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 1. - Within a while - the same expression as that in Judges 14:8, rendered "after a time," and in Judges 11:4, rendered "in process of time." In the time of wheat harvest - about the month of May. The harvest, as appears from ver. 5, had begun, some corn being already cut, and in shocks; the rest still standing, and, being ready to be cut, of course extremely dry and inflammable. With a kid, as a present, intended no doubt to make peace (Genesis 38:17). His anger (Judges 14:19) had now passed away, and his love for his wife had returned. He was little prepared to find her married again to his friend.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(1) Within a while after.--"After days" (Judges 11:4; Judges 14:8).In the time of wheat harvest.--This, in the Shephelah, would be about the middle of May.Visited his wife with a kid.--We find the same present given by Judah to Tamar in Genesis 38:17. We may compare the complaint of the elder brother of the prodigal, given him a kid (Luke 15:29).I will go in to my wife.--Uxoriousness was the chief secret of the weakness and ruin of Samson, as it was afterwards of a very different type of man, Solomon. . . .
