Judges 14:1-7
1And SamsonH8123 wentH3381 downH3381 to TimnahH8553, and sawH7200 a womanH802 in TimnahH8553 of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430. 2And he cameH5927 up, and toldH5046 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and saidH559, I have seenH7200 a womanH802 in TimnahH8553 of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430: nowH6258 thereforeH6258 get her for me to wifeH802. 3Then his fatherH1 and his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Is there never a womanH802 among the daughtersH1323 of thy brethren, or among all my peopleH5971, that thou goest to takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistinesH6430? And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. 4But his fatherH1 and his motherH517 knewH3045 not that it was of Jehovah; for he soughtH1245 an occasion against the PhilistinesH6430. Now at that timeH6256 the PhilistinesH6430 had ruleH4910 over IsraelH3478.
5Then wentH935 SamsonH8123 downH3381, and his fatherH1 and his motherH517, to TimnahH8553, and cameH935 to the vineyardsH3754 of TimnahH8553: and, behold, a youngH3715 lionH738 roaredH7580 against him. 6And the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid; and he had nothing in his handH3027: but he toldH5046 not his fatherH1 or his motherH517 what he had done. 7And he wentH3381 downH3381, and talked with the womanH802, and she pleased SamsonH8123 well.
