Commentary

Commentary on Judges 16:4

Theological / Devotional

Valley of Sorek. The valley in which Zorah, Samson’s home, was situated. The valley is believed to be the modern Wadi es-Sarar, in which are found ruins called Surik, which are thought to be the ancient Sorek. The town of Sorek was about 2 mi. from Zorah.

Delilah. Generally thought to be a Philistine woman, but it is not so stated. Judging by the bribe offered her, some have thought that she was not a Philistine, for had she been of that nationality, they would probably have used threats against her instead of bribery, as in the case of Samson’s wife (ch. 14:15).
