SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:13
Y ellos le respondieron, diciendo: No; solamente te prenderemos, y te entregaremos en sus manos; mas no te mataremos. Entonces le ataron con dos cuerdas nuevas, y le hicieron venir de la peņa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 15:13
Verse 13. They bound him with two new cords] Probably his hands with one and his legs with the other.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And they spake unto him, saying, no , etc.] They declared they would not fall upon him themselves and slay him; nor would the Jews put Christ to death themselves, though they were virtually his betrayers and murderers, ( John 18:31) but we will bind thee fast and deliver thee into their hands ; as the Jews did Christ, and not only delivered him bound to the high priest, but also to the Roman governor, ( Matthew 27:2) but surely we will not kill thee : not with their own hands, but then they proposed to deliver him into the hands of the Philistines, from whence nothing but death could be expected; so that had they put him to death, they would have been accessory to it, as the Jews were to the death of Christ by delivering him to the Gentiles, and are charged with it, ( Acts 2:23,36). and they bound him with two new cords ; not with one only, lest it should not be sufficient to hold him, knowing his strength, but with two, and these not old worn out ones, but new ones just made, and very strong; and, as Joseph Kimchi, noted by Ben Melech, were trebled, or made of three cords or thongs, for greater security; and of flax, as the following verse intimates, and such are most firm and strongest to hold anything; hence nets were made of flax to hold creatures in, fish, fowl, or beasts f313 : and brought him up from the rock ; the place, as Kimchi says, where the men of Judah dwelt, being higher than the rock; though rather the true sense is, they brought him up out of the cave in the rock.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-17 - Sin dispirits men, it hides from their eyes the things that belong to their peace. The Israelites blamed Samson for what he had done agains the Philistines, as if he had done them a great injury. Thus our Lor Jesus did many good works, and for those the Jews were ready to ston him. When the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, his cords wer loosed: where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, and thos are free indeed who are thus set free. Thus Christ triumphed over the powers of darkness that shouted against him, as if they had him in their power. Samson made great destruction among the Philistines. To take the bone of an ass for this, was to do wonders by the foolis things of the world, that the excellency of the power might be of God not of man. This victory was not in the weapon, was not in the arm; but it was in the Spirit of God, which moved the weapon by the arm. We can do all things through Him that strengtheneth us. Seest thou a poor Christian, who is enabled to overcome a temptation by weak, feebl counsel, there is the Philistine vanquished by a sorry jaw-bone.
