Judges 14:1-4

1Then Samson went down to Timnah, and he 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; so now, get her for me as a wife.” 3But his father and his mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your 3relatives, or among all 4our people, that you go to 5take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” Yet Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, because she is right 6for me.” 4However, his father and mother did not know that 7this was of the Lord, for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. And at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
