1 H3117 But it came to pass within a while after H3117 , in the time H2406 of wheat H7105 harvest H8123 , that Samson H6485 visited [H8799] H802 his wife H1423 with a kid H5795 H559 ; and he said [H8799] H935 , I will go in [H8799] H802 to my wife H2315 into the chamber H1 . But her father H5414 would not suffer [H8804] H935 him to go in [H8800] .

2 H1 And her father H559 said [H8799] H559 , I verily [H8800] H559 thought [H8804] H8130 that thou hadst utterly [H8800] H8130 hated [H8804] H5414 her; therefore I gave [H8799] 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 [H8799] H6471 concerning them, Now H5352 shall I be more blameless [H8738] H6430 than the Philistines H6213 , though I do [H8802] H7451 them a displeasure.

4 H8123 And Samson H3212 went [H8799] H3920 and caught [H8799] H7969 three H3967 hundred H7776 foxes H3947 , and took [H8799] H3940 firebrands H6437 , and turned [H8686] H2180 tail H2180 to tail H7760 , and put [H8799] H259 a H3940 firebrand H8432 in the midst H8147 between two H2180 tails.

5 H1197 And when he had set [H8686] H3940 the brands H784 on fire H7971 , he let them go [H8762] H7054 into the standing corn H6430 of the Philistines H1197 , and burnt up [H8686] H1430 both the shocks H7054 , and also the standing corn H3754 , with the vineyards H2132 and olives.

6 H6430 Then the Philistines H559 said [H8799] H6213 , Who hath done [H8804] H559 this? And they answered [H8799] H8123 , Samson H2860 , the son in law H8554 of the Timnite H3947 , because he had taken [H8804] H802 his wife H5414 , and given [H8799] H4828 her to his companion H6430 . And the Philistines H5927 came up [H8799] H8313 , and burnt [H8799] H1 her and her father H784 with fire.

7 H8123 And Samson H559 said [H8799] H518 unto them, Though H6213 ye have done [H8799] H2063 this H5358 , yet will I be avenged [H8738] H310 of you, and after H2308 that I will cease [H8799] .

8 H5221 And he smote [H8686] H7785 them hip H5921 and H3409 thigh H1419 with a great H4347 slaughter H3381 : and he went down [H8799] H3427 and dwelt [H8799] H5585 in the top H5553 of the rock H5862 Etam.

9 H6430 Then the Philistines H5927 went up [H8799] H2583 , and pitched [H8799] H3063 in Judah H5203 , and spread [H8735] H3896 themselves in Lehi.

10 H376 And the men H3063 of Judah H559 said [H8799] H5927 , Why are ye come up [H8804] H559 against us? And they answered [H8799] H631 , To bind [H8800] H8123 Samson H5927 are we come up [H8804] H6213 , to do [H8800] H6213 to him as he hath done [H8804] to us.

11 H7969 Then three H505 thousand H376 men H3063 of Judah H3381 went [H8799] H5585 to the top H5553 of the rock H5862 Etam H559 , and said [H8799] H8123 to Samson H3045 , Knowest [H8804] H6430 thou not that the Philistines H4910 are rulers [H8802] H6213 over us? what is this that thou hast done [H8804] H559 unto us? And he said [H8799] H6213 unto them, As they did [H8804] H6213 unto me, so have I done [H8804] unto them.

12 H559 And they said [H8799] H3381 unto him, We are come down [H8804] H631 to bind [H8800] H5414 thee, that we may deliver [H8800] H3027 thee into the hand H6430 of the Philistines H8123 . And Samson H559 said [H8799] H7650 unto them, Swear [H8734] H6293 unto me, that ye will not fall upon [H8799] me yourselves.

13 H559 And they spake [H8799] H559 unto him, saying [H8800] H631 , No; but we will bind [H8799] H631 thee fast [H8800] H5414 , and deliver [H8804] H3027 thee into their hand H4191 : but surely [H8687] H4191 we will not kill [H8686] H631 thee. And they bound [H8799] H8147 him with two H2319 new H5688 cords H5927 , and brought him up [H8686] H5553 from the rock.

14 H935 And when he came [H8804] H3896 unto Lehi H6430 , the Philistines H7321 shouted [H8689] H7125 against [H8800] H7307 him: and the Spirit H3068 of the LORD H6743 came mightily [H8799] H5688 upon him, and the cords H2220 that were upon his arms H6593 became as flax H1197 that was burnt [H8804] H784 with fire H612 , and his bands H4549 loosed [H8735] H3027 from off his hands.

15 H4672 And he found [H8799] H2961 a new H3895 jawbone H2543 of an ass H7971 , and put forth [H8799] H3027 his hand H3947 , and took [H8799] H5221 it, and slew [H8686] H505 a thousand H376 men therewith.

16 H8123 And Samson H559 said [H8799] H3895 , With the jawbone H2543 of an ass H2565 , heaps H2565 upon heaps H3895 , with the jaw H2543 of an ass H5221 have I slain [H8689] H505 a thousand H376 men.

17 H3615 And it came to pass, when he had made an end [H8763] H1696 of speaking [H8763] H7993 , that he cast away [H8686] H3895 the jawbone H3027 out of his hand H7121 , and called [H8799] H4725 that place H7437 Ramathlehi.

18 H3966 And he was sore H6770 athirst [H8799] H7121 , and called [H8799] H3068 on the LORD H559 , and said [H8799] H5414 , Thou hast given [H8804] H1419 this great H8668 deliverance H3027 into the hand H5650 of thy servant H4191 : and now shall I die [H8799] H6772 for thirst H5307 , and fall [H8804] H3027 into the hand H6189 of the uncircumcised?

19 H430 But God H1234 clave [H8799] H4388 an hollow place H3895 that was in the jaw H3318 , and there came [H8799] H4325 water H8354 thereout; and when he had drunk [H8799] H7307 , his spirit H7725 came again [H8799] H2421 , and he revived [H8799] H7121 : wherefore he called [H8802] H8034 the name H5875 thereof Enhakkore H3896 , which is in Lehi H3117 unto this day.

20 H8199 And he judged [H8799] H3478 Israel H3117 in the days H6430 of the Philistines H6242 twenty H8141 years.
