Charles Ellicott Commentary Judges 14:3

"Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well." — Judges 14:3 (ASV)

Of the uncircumcised Philistines. —This on the lips of Israelites was a term of peculiar hatred (1 Samuel 17:36). How repugnant such a marriage would be in the eyes of Manoah and his wife we may see from the story of Simeon, Levi, and the Shechemites (Genesis 34).

She pleaseth me well. —Literally, she is right in my eyes (Judges 14:7; 1 Kings 9:12).
