Judges 15:1-8
1And it cameH935 to pass after a time, in the daysH3117 of the wheat-harvest, that SamsonH8123 visited his wifeH802 with a kid of the goatsH5795. And he saidH559, I will goH935 in to my wifeH802 into the chamberH2315; but her fatherH1 would not suffer him to goH935 in.
2And her fatherH1 saidH559, I verily thought that thou didst utterly hateH8130 her; therefore I gaveH5414 her to thy companionH4828. IsH1961 not her youngerH6996 sisterH269 fairer than she? Let her, I pray thee, beH1961 thine instead of her.
3And SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, This timeH6471 I am blameless toward the PhilistinesH6430, though I do them harmH7451.
4And SamsonH8123 went and caughtH3920 threeH7969 hundredH3967 jackals, and tookH3947 torchesH3940, and turnedH6437 tailH2180 to tailH2180, and putH7760 a torchH3940 in the midstH8432 between the twoH8147 tailsH2180.
5And he set the torchesH3940 on fireH784, and let [them] run into the standingH7054 corn of the PhilistinesH6430, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standingH7054 corn, and the oliveH2132 gardens.
6And the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Who has done this? And they answered, SamsonH8123, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he tookH3947 his wifeH802 and gaveH5414 her to his companionH4828. And the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 up, and burnedH8313 her and her fatherH1 with fireH784.
7And SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, If ye actH6213 thus, for a certainty I will avengeH5358 myself on you, and then I will ceaseH2308.
8And he smote them hip and thighH3409 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. And he wentH3381 downH3381 and dweltH3427 in the cleftH5585 of the cliffH5553 EtamH5862.
