April 28, 2012 – Judges 14 – 15

I am curios that there is not something contradictory in eating the honey.  Jews were not to have anything to do with a dead corpse, yet here he eats honey that was found inside a corpse.  I just thought it was interesting that there wasn’t a bigger deal made of it.  God allows him to marry a Philistine so that he would have pretense to war against them.  We also see that Samson, although a judge of God’s choosing, has a very blatant weakness, he caves when women ask him questions.  Here he gave up the riddles answer.  We will see the same weakness with Delilah.
