Poole: Jdg 15:7

Whereby it appears, that it was not his private injuries, but the public, which he did revenge.

Haydock: Jdg 15:7 - Of you

Of you. He intimates that they should answer for the injustice which they ought to have prevented, or punished sooner. (Haydock) ---

Hebrew, "If you had done like this," and slain the father and daughter, I should be quiet. (Du Hamel)

Gill: Jdg 15:7 - And Samson said unto them // though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you // and after that I will cease

And Samson said unto them,.... After they had burnt his wife and her father in their dwelling house, by which they thought to appease him, being afraid of him:

though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you; not for burning his wife and father-in-law; his sense is, that though they had done this, in order to ingratiate themselves with him, yet he should not stop on this account, but be avenged on them, not for private injuries done to him, or any that had been in connection with him, but for public injuries done to Israel, and their oppression of them:

and after that I will cease; when he had taken full vengeance on them, and not before.
