SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:18
¶ Y teniendo gran sed, clamó luego al SEÑOR, y dijo: Tú has dado esta gran salud por mano de tu siervo; ¿y moriré yo ahora de sed, y caeré en mano de los incircuncisos?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 15:18
Verse 18. I die for thirst] The natural consequence of the excessive fatigue he had gone through in this encounter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And he was sore athirst , etc.] Which Josephus thinks came upon him as a rebuke unto him, for ascribing the victory he had obtained to his own strength, and not to the Lord, whereby he was shown his own weakness, and how easily his strength could be reduced; but for this there seems to be no foundation; it is not to wondered at, in a natural way, that he should be athirst after he had been bound with cords, after he had so exerted himself, and slain 1000 men with his own hand, and after he had celebrated this victory with a triumphant song; and it may also be observed, that it was so ordered in Providence, that he might in this be a type of the Messiah, who on the cross, as he was spoiling principalities and powers, and triumphing over them in it, said, “I thirst”, ( John 19:28) and called on the Lord, and said ; in prayer to him: thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant ; he owns the deliverance to be great, as indeed, it was, and that it was of the Lord, and he only his servant and instrument in it: and now shall I die for thirst ; when my life has been saved in so wonderful a manner, and so great a salvation has been wrought by my hands, as an instrument: and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised ? which would be matter of joy and triumph to them, and mar the glory of the deliverance wrought.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-20 - So little notice did the men of Judah take of their deliverer, that he was ready to perish for want of a draught of water. Thus are the greatest slights often put upon those who do the greatest services Samson prayed to God in this distress. Those that forget to attend God their praises, may be compelled to attend him with their prayers. Pas experiences of God's power and goodness, are excellent pleas in praye for further mercy. He pleads his being exposed to God's enemies; ou best pleas are taken from God's glory. The Lord sent him seasonabl relief. The place of this action was, from the jaw-bone, called Lehi And in the place thus called, God caused a fountain suddenly an seasonably to open, close by Samson. We should be more thankful for the mercy of water, did we consider how ill we can spare it. Israe submitted to him whom they had betrayed. God was with him; henceforwar they were directed by him as their judge __________________________________________________________________
