1 H3117 But it came to pass after H3117 a while, in the time H2406 of wheat H7105 harvest, H8123 that Samson H6485 visited H802 his wife H1423 with a kid; H559 and he said, H935 I will go in H802 to my wife H2315 into the chamber. H1 But her father H5414 would not suffer H935 him to go in.

2 H1 And her father H559 said, H559 I verily H559 thought H8130 that thou hadst utterly H8130 hated H5414 her; therefore I gave H4828 her to thy companion: H6996 is not her younger H269 sister H2896 fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.

3 H8123 And Samson H559 said H6471 unto them, This H5352 time shall I be blameless H6430 in regard of the Philistines, H6213 when I do H7451 them a mischief.

4 H8123 And Samson H3212 went H3920 and caught H7969 three H3967 hundred H7776 foxes, H3947 and took H3940 firebrands, H6437 and turned H2180 tail H2180 to tail, H7760 and put H259 a H3940 firebrand H8432 in the midst H8147 between every two H2180 tails.

5 H1197 And when he had set H3940 the brands H784 on fire, H7971 he let them go H7054 into the standing grain H6430 of the Philistines, H1197 and burnt up H1430 both the shocks H7054 and the standing grain, H2132 and also the oliveyards.

6 H6430 Then the Philistines H559 said, H6213 Who hath done H559 this? And they said, H8123 Samson, H2860 the son-in-law H8554 of the Timnite, H3947 because he hath taken H802 his wife, H5414 and given H4828 her to his companion. H6430 And the Philistines H5927 came up, H8313 and burnt H1 her and her father H784 with fire.

7 H8123 And Samson H559 said H518 unto them, If H6213 ye do H2063 after this H5358 manner, surely I will be avenged H310 of you, and after H2308 that I will cease.

8 H5221 And he smote H7785 them hip H5921 and H3409 thigh H1419 with a great H4347 slaughter: H3381 and he went down H3427 and dwelt H5585 in the cleft H5553 of the rock H5862 of Etam.

9 H6430 Then the Philistines H5927 went up, H2583 and encamped H3063 in Judah, H5203 and spread H3896 themselves in Lehi.

10 H376 And the men H3063 of Judah H559 said, H5927 Why are ye come up H559 against us? And they said, H631 To bind H8123 Samson H5927 are we come up, H6213 to do H6213 to him as he hath done to us.

11 H7969 Then three H505 thousand H376 men H3063 of Judah H3381 went H5585 down to the cleft H5553 of the rock H5862 of Etam, H559 and said H8123 to Samson, H3045 Knowest H6430 thou not that the Philistines H4910 are rulers H6213 over us? what then is this that thou hast done H559 unto us? And he said H6213 unto them, As they did H6213 unto me, so have I done unto them.

12 H559 And they said H3381 unto him, We are come down H631 to bind H5414 thee, that we may deliver H3027 thee into the hand H6430 of the Philistines. H8123 And Samson H559 said H7650 unto them, Swear H6293 unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.

13 H559 And they spake H559 unto him, saying, H631 No; but we will bind H631 thee fast, H5414 and deliver H3027 thee into their hand: H4191 but surely H4191 we will not kill H631 thee. And they bound H8147 him with two H2319 new H5688 ropes, H5927 and brought him up H5553 from the rock.

14 H935 When he came H3896 unto Lehi, H6430 the Philistines H7321 shouted H7125 as H7307 they met him: and the Spirit H3068 of Jehovah H6743 came mightily H5688 upon him, and the ropes H2220 that were upon his arms H6593 became as flax H1197 that was burnt H784 with fire, H612 and his bands H4549 dropped H3027 from off his hands.

15 H4672 And he found H2961 a fresh H3895 jawbone H2543 of an ass, H7971 and put forth H3027 his hand, H3947 and took H5221 it, and smote H505 a thousand H376 men therewith.

16 H8123 And Samson H559 said, H3895 With the jawbone H2543 of an ass, H2565 heaps H2565 upon heaps, H3895 With the jawbone H2543 of an ass H5221 have I smitten H505 a thousand H376 men.

17 H3615 And it came to pass, when he had made an end H1696 of speaking, H7993 that he cast away H3895 the jawbone H3027 out of his hand; H4725 and that place H7121 was called H7437 Ramath-lehi.

18 H3966 And he was sore H6770 athirst, H7121 and called H3068 on Jehovah, H559 and said, H5414 Thou hast given H1419 this great H8668 deliverance H3027 by the hand H5650 of thy servant; H4191 and now shall I die H6772 for thirst, H5307 and fall H3027 into the hand H6189 of the uncircumcised.

19 H430 But God H1234 clave H4388 the hollow place H3895 that is in Lehi, H3318 and there came H4325 water H8354 thereout; and when he had drunk, H7307 his spirit H7725 came again, H2421 and he revived: H8034 wherefore the name H7121 thereof was called H5875 En-hakkore, H3896 which is in Lehi, H3117 unto this day.

20 H8199 And he judged H3478 Israel H3117 in the days H6430 of the Philistines H6242 twenty H8141 years.
