Charles Ellicott Commentary Judges 15:1

"But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in." — Judges 15:1 (ASV)

A while later. —After days (Judges 11:4; Judges 14:8).

During the wheat harvest. —This, in the Shephelah, would be about the middle of May.

He visited his wife with a kid. —We find the same present given by Judah to Tamar in Genesis 38:17. We may compare this to the complaint of the elder brother of the prodigal son, who lamented that he was never given a kid (Luke 15:29).

I will go in to my wife. —Uxoriousness was the chief cause of Samson's weakness and ruin, as it was later for Solomon, a very different type of man.

Into the chamber. —Song of Solomon 1:4; Song of Solomon 3:4.
