Judges 14:1-7

1Then Samson went down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines. 2So he came 1back and told his father and 2mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife.” 3Then his father and his mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your 34relatives, or among all 5our people, that you go to 6take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she 7looks good to me.” 4However, his father and mother did not know that 8it was of the Lord, for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

5Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came as far as the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion came roaring toward him. 69The Spirit of the Lord 10came upon him mightily, so that 11he tore him as one tears a young goat though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done. 7So he went down and talked to the woman; and she 12looked good to Samson.
