This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_15:15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
Ver. 15. And he found a new jaw-bone of an ass.] This holy Hercules had no better a club to bestir him with; and it was sufficient. So was "the foolishness of preaching," to subdue the world under Christ, the true Samson, who, by his death, brake the bands of death, and destroyed his and our enemies.
And slew a thousand men therewith.] So did Shamgar six hundred with an ox-goad; David, Goliath, with a sling and stone. God can effect great matters by small means. How many thousands perish by a pestilential air, as 2Sa_1:25. The great cardinal of Lorraine was lighted to his lodging and to his long home at once by a poisoned torch. {a}
