Genesis 49:17 Cross References - MSTC

¹⁷ Dan shall be a serpent in the way, and an adder in the path, and bite the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.

¹ Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, ² and came up and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. And now give her me to wife." ³ Then his father and mother said unto him, "Is there never a woman of the daughters of thy brethren, among all my people: but that thou must go and fetch a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said unto his father, "Give me this woman for she pleaseth me well." ⁴ But his father and mother wist not that it was the LORD's doing, and that he sought an occasion of the Philistines, which at that time reigned over Israel. ⁵ Then went Samson and his father and his mother down to Timnah. And when they came to the vineyards of Timnah, behold, a young lion roared upon him. ⁶ And the spirit of the LORD came upon him. And he tare him, as a man would rent a kid, and yet had nothing in his hand. Nevertheless he told not his father and mother what he had done. ⁷ And he went down and talked with the woman, which seemed well favoured in the sight of Samson. ⁸ And within a short space after, as he went thither again to take her to wife, he turned out of the way, to see the carcass of the Lion. And behold, there was a swarm of bees in the carcass of the Lion and honey. ⁹ And he took of the honey in his hands and went eating, and came to his father and mother, and gave them also. And they did eat. But he told them not, that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the Lion. ¹⁰ And when his father was come unto the woman, Samson made there a feast, for so used the young men to do. ¹¹ And when her friends saw him, they brought thirty companions to bear fellowship. ¹² And Samson said unto them, "I will put forth a riddle unto you. And if you can declare it within seven days of the feast and find it out, I will give you thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments: ¹³ But and if you cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments." And they answered him, "Put forth thy riddle and let us hear it." ¹⁴ And he said unto them, "Out of the eater came meat: and out of the strong came sweetness." And they could not in three days expound the riddle. ¹⁵ And when the seventh day was come, they said unto Samson's wife, "Flatter with thine husband, that he may declare us thy riddle, or else we will burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to make us beggars? Or not?"

²² Howbeit, the hair of his head began to grow again after that he was shorn. ²³ Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together, for to offer a solemn offering unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, "Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hands." ²⁴ And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, "Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, that destroyed our country and slew many of us." ²⁵ And when their hearts were merry, they said, "Send for Samson and let him play before us." And they fetched Samson out of the prison house, and he played before them, and they set him between the pillars. ²⁶ And Samson said unto the lad that led him by the hand, "Set me that I may touch the pillars that the house stands upon, and that I may lean to them." ²⁷ And the house was full of men and women. And there was all the lords of the Philistines. And there were upon the roof a three thousand men and women, that beheld how Samson played. ²⁸ And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, "My Lord Jehovah think upon me, and strengthen me at this time only, O God, that I may be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes." ²⁹ And Samson caught the two middle pillars on which the house stood and on which it was borne up, the one in his righthand, and the other in his left, ³⁰ and said, "My soul die with the Philistines," and bowed them with might. And the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were therein. And so the dead which he slew at his death, were more than they which he slew in his life.

²² When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses that were by Micah's house, made an outcry, and followed after the children of Dan and called unto them. ²³ And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, "What aileth thee, that thou makest an outcry?" ²⁴ And he said, "Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and also the priest, and go your ways with them! And what have I more? How then say ye unto me, 'What aileth thee?'" ²⁵ And the children of Dan said unto him, "Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of all thine household too." ²⁶ And so the children of Dan went their ways. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house again. ²⁷ And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and went unto Laish, even unto a people that were at rest and without mistrust, and smote them with the edge of the sword and burnt the city with fire. ²⁸ And there was no man to help, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no meddling with any other nation. And the city stood in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built the city and dwelt therein. ²⁹ And called it Dan, after the name of Dan their father which was born unto Israel. Howbeit in very deed the name of the city was Laish at the beginning. ³⁰ And the children of Dan set them up the graven image. And Jonathan the son of Gershon, the son of Manasseh and his sons were the priests unto the tribe of the Danites, until they were carried away out of the land captive. ³¹ And they set them up the carved image which Micah made, all the while that the house of God was in Shiloh.

³⁵ And of Dan prepared to battle, were twenty eight thousand and six hundred.
