H8123
And Samson
H3381
went down
[H8799]
H8553
to Timnath
H7200
, and saw
[H8799]
H802
a woman
H8553
in Timnath
H1323
of the daughters
H6430
of the Philistines.
2
H5927
And he came up
[H8799]
H5046
, and told
[H8686]
H1
his father
H517
and his mother
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H7200
, I have seen
[H8804]
H802
a woman
H8553
in Timnath
H1323
of the daughters
H6430
of the Philistines
H3947
: now therefore get
[H8798]
H802
her for me to wife.
3
H1
Then his father
H517
and his mother
H559
said
[H8799]
H369
unto him, Is there never
H802
a woman
H1323
among the daughters
H251
of thy brethren
H5971
, or among all my people
H1980
, that thou goest
[H8802]
H3947
to take
[H8800]
H802
a wife
H6189
of the uncircumcised
H6430
Philistines
H8123
? And Samson
H559
said
[H8799]
H1
unto his father
H3947
, Get
[H8798]
H3474
her for me; for she pleaseth me well
[H8804]
H5869
.
4
H1
But his father
H517
and his mother
H3045
knew
[H8804]
H3068
not that it was of the LORD
H1245
, that he sought
[H8764]
H8385
an occasion
H6430
against the Philistines
H6256
: for at that time
H6430
the Philistines
H4910
had dominion
[H8802]
H3478
over Israel.
5
H3381
Then went
H8123
Samson
H3381
down
[H8799]
H1
, and his father
H517
and his mother
H8553
, to Timnath
H935
, and came
[H8799]
H3754
to the vineyards
H8553
of Timnath
H3715
: and, behold, a young
H738
lion
H7580
roared
[H8802]
H7125
against
[H8800]
him.
6
H7307
And the Spirit
H3068
of the LORD
H6743
came mightily
[H8799]
H8156
upon him, and he rent
[H8762]
H8156
him as he would have rent
[H8763]
H1423
a kid
H3972
, and he had nothing
H3027
in his hand
H5046
: but he told
[H8689]
H1
not his father
H517
or his mother
H6213
what he had done
[H8804]
.
7
H3381
And he went down
[H8799]
H1696
, and talked
[H8762]
H802
with the woman
H3474
; and she pleased
H8123
Samson
H3474
well
[H8799]
H5869
.
8
H3117
And after a time
H7725
he returned
[H8799]
H3947
to take
[H8800]
H5493
her, and he turned aside
[H8799]
H7200
to see
[H8800]
H4658
the carcase
H738
of the lion
H5712
: and, behold, there was a swarm
H1682
of bees
H1706
and honey
H1472
in the carcase
H738
of the lion.
9
H7287
And he took
[H8799]
H3709
thereof in his hands
H3212
, and went on
[H8799]
H398
eating
[H8800]
H1980
, and came
[H8800]
H1
to his father
H517
and mother
H5414
, and he gave
[H8799]
H398
them, and they did eat
[H8799]
H5046
: but he told
[H8689]
H7287
not them that he had taken
[H8804]
H1706
the honey
H1472
out of the carcase
H738
of the lion.
10
H1
So his father
H3381
went down
[H8799]
H802
unto the woman
H8123
: and Samson
H6213
made
[H8799]
H4960
there a feast
H970
; for so used the young men
H6213
to do
[H8799]
.
11
H7200
And it came to pass, when they saw
[H8800]
H3947
him, that they brought
[H8799]
H7970
thirty
H4828
companions to be with him.
12
H8123
And Samson
H559
said
[H8799]
H2330
unto them, I will now put forth
[H8799]
H2420
a riddle
H5046
unto you: if ye can certainly
[H8687]
H5046
declare
[H8686]
H7651
it me within the seven
H3117
days
H4960
of the feast
H4672
, and find it out
[H8804]
H5414
, then I will give
[H8804]
H7970
you thirty
H5466
sheets
H7970
and thirty
H2487
change
H899
of garments:
13
H3201
But if ye cannot
[H8799]
H5046
declare
[H8687]
H5414
it me, then shall ye give
[H8804]
H7970
me thirty
H5466
sheets
H7970
and thirty
H2487
change
H899
of garments
H559
. And they said
[H8799]
H2330
unto him, Put forth
[H8798]
H2420
thy riddle
H8085
, that we may hear
[H8799]
it.
14
H559
And he said
[H8799]
H398
unto them, Out of the eater
[H8802]
H3318
came forth
[H8804]
H3978
meat
H5794
, and out of the strong
H3318
came forth
[H8804]
H4966
sweetness
H3201
. And they could
[H8804]
H7969
not in three
H3117
days
H5046
expound
[H8687]
H2420
the riddle.
15
H7637
And it came to pass on the seventh
H3117
day
H559
, that they said
[H8799]
H8123
unto Samson's
H802
wife
H6601
, Entice
[H8761]
H376
thy husband
H5046
, that he may declare
[H8686]
H2420
unto us the riddle
H8313
, lest we burn
[H8799]
H1
thee and thy father's
H1004
house
H784
with fire
H7121
: have ye called
[H8804]
H3423
us to take that we have
[H8800]
? is it not so ?
16
H8123
And Samson's
H802
wife
H1058
wept
[H8799]
H559
before him, and said
[H8799]
H8130
, Thou dost but hate
[H8804]
H157
me, and lovest
[H8804]
H2330
me not: thou hast put forth
[H8804]
H2420
a riddle
H1121
unto the children
H5971
of my people
H5046
, and hast not told
[H8689]
H559
it me. And he said
[H8799]
H5046
unto her, Behold, I have not told
[H8689]
H1
it my father
H517
nor my mother
H5046
, and shall I tell
[H8686]
it thee?
17
H1058
And she wept
[H8799]
H7651
before him the seven
H3117
days
H4960
, while their feast
H1961
lasted
[H8804]
H7637
: and it came to pass on the seventh
H3117
day
H5046
, that he told
[H8686]
H6693
her, because she lay sore
[H8689]
H5046
upon him: and she told
[H8686]
H2420
the riddle
H1121
to the children
H5971
of her people.
18
H582
And the men
H5892
of the city
H559
said
[H8799]
H7637
unto him on the seventh
H3117
day
H2775
before the sun
H935
went down
[H8799]
H4966
, What is sweeter
H1706
than honey
H5794
? and what is stronger
H738
than a lion
H559
? And he said
[H8799]
H3884
unto them, If
H2790
ye had not plowed
[H8804]
H5697
with my heifer
H4672
, ye had not found out
[H8804]
H2420
my riddle.
19
H7307
And the Spirit
H3068
of the LORD
H6743
came
[H8799]
H3381
upon him, and he went down
[H8799]
H831
to Ashkelon
H5221
, and slew
[H8686]
H7970
thirty
H376
men
H3947
of them, and took
[H8799]
H2488
their spoil
H5414
, and gave
[H8799]
H2487
change
H5046
of garments unto them which expounded
[H8688]
H2420
the riddle
H639
. And his anger
H2734
was kindled
[H8799]
H5927
, and he went up
[H8799]
H1
to his father's
H1004
house.
