Judges 14:1-7
1One day SamsonH8123 went downH3381 to TimnahH8553, where he sawH7200H802 a young PhilistineH6430 womanH1323H8553. 2So he returnedH5927 and toldH5046 his fatherH1 and motherH517, “I have seenH7200 a daughterH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 in TimnahH8553. NowH6258 getH3947 herH853 for me as a wifeH802.”
3But his fatherH1 and motherH517 repliedH559, “Can’t youH369 find a young womanH1323 among your relativesH251 or among anyH3605 of our peopleH5971? Must youH859 goH1980 to the uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistinesH6430 to getH3947 a wifeH802?”
But SamsonH8123H413 toldH559 his fatherH1, “GetH3947 herH853 for me, forH3588 sheH1931 is pleasingH3474 to my eyesH5869.” 4(Now his fatherH1 and motherH517 did notH3808 knowH3045H3588 thisH1931 was fromH3588 the LORDH3068, whoH1931 was seekingH1245 an occasion to moveH8385 against the PhilistinesH6430; for at thatH1931 timeH6256 the PhilistinesH6430 were rulingH4910 over IsraelH3478.)
5Then SamsonH8123 went downH3381 to TimnahH8553 with his fatherH1 and motherH517 and cameH935 toH5704 the vineyardsH3754 of TimnahH8553. SuddenlyH2009 a young lionH3715H738 came roaringH7580 at himH7122, 6and the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 came powerfullyH6743 upon himH5921, and he tore the lion apartH8156 with his bareH3972H369 handsH3027 as one would tearH8156 a young goatH1423. But he did notH3808 tellH5046 his fatherH1 or motherH517 whatH834 he had doneH6213. 7Then Samson continued on his way downH3381 and spokeH1696 to the womanH802, becauseH8123 she was pleasingH3474 to his eyesH5869.
