How does Samson’s choice of a wife contrast with an earlier judge?
Judges 14:3 (ESV)
3But his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes.”
Samson’s choice of a bride is a far cry from Othniel, the first judge, who married the “ideal” wife, Achsah, daughter of Caleb.
