Judges 14:4
His father and mother very properly opposed Samson' s marriage with a Pagan woman, the daughter of the oppressors of his race. But they could not prevail, because it was the secret purpose of God by these means to "seek occasion" against the Philistines; i. e. to make the misconduct of the father of Samson' s wife, which He foresaw, the occasion of destruction to the Philistines. Compare the marginal references for similar statements.
