Judges 14:1-5

1And SamsonH8123 went downH3381 to TimnathH8553, and sawH7200 a womanH802 in TimnathH8553 of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430. 2And he came upH5927, and toldH5046 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and saidH559, I have seenH7200 a womanH802 in TimnathH8553 of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430: now therefore getH3947 her for me to wifeH802. 3Then his fatherH1 and his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Is there neverH369 a womanH802 among the daughtersH1323 of thy brethrenH251, or among all my peopleH5971, that thou goestH1980 to takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistinesH6430? And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, GetH3947 her for me; for she pleaseth me wellH5869H3474.1 4But his fatherH1 and his motherH517 knewH3045 not that it was of the LordH3068, that he soughtH1245 an occasionH8385 against the PhilistinesH6430: for at that timeH6256 the PhilistinesH6430 had dominionH4910 over IsraelH3478.

5Then wentH3381 SamsonH8123 downH3381, and his fatherH1 and his motherH517, to TimnathH8553, and cameH935 to the vineyardsH3754 of TimnathH8553: and, behold, a youngH3715 lionH738 roaredH7580 againstH7125 him.2
