Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - So his father went down. It is not clear what is meant by this mention of his father alone; but it was probably some part of the wedding etiquette that the father should go to the bride first alone; perhaps, as Kimehi says, to give her notice of the bridegroom's approach, that she might get ready. Among the preparations may have been the selection of the thirty young men to be "the children of the bride-chamber" (Matthew 9:15). As these were all Philistines, the inference is that they were selected by the bride, just as with us the bride has the privilege of choosing the minister who is to officiate at the marriage.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Went down unto the woman.--Formally, to claim her as the bride of his son.Made there a feast.--According to the universal custom in all ages (Genesis 29:22; Revelation 19:9). The LXX. add the words "seven days." (Comp. Genesis 29:27.)
