18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she {c} weary me.
(c) Literally, beat me down with her blows, and it is a metaphor taken of wrestlers who beat their adversaries with their fists or clubs: in the same way those that are persistent beat the judge's ears with their crying out, even as it were with blows.
18:5 This widow troubleth me. What neither the fear of God nor the regard for human rights could do, her persistence accomplished, because her continual coming wearied him.
18:1-8 All God's people are praying people. Here earnest steadiness in prayer for spiritual mercies is taught. The widow's earnestness prevailed even with the unjust judge: she might fear lest it should set him more against her; but our earnest prayer is pleasing to our God. Even to the end there will still be ground for the same complaint of weakness of faith.
