2So he cameH5927 1backH5927 and toldH5046 his fatherH1 and 2motherH517, “I sawH7200 a womanH802 in TimnahH8553, one of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430; so nowH6258, getH3947 her for me as a wifeH802.” 3But his fatherH1 and his motherH517 saidH559 to him, “IsH369 thereH369 noH369 womanH802 among the daughtersH1323 of your 3relativesH251, or among allH3605 4our peopleH5971, that you goH1980 to 5takeH3947 a wifeH802 from the uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistinesH6430?” Yet SamsonH8123 saidH559 to his fatherH1, “GetH3947 her for me, becauseH3588 she isH3474 rightH3474H5869 6for me.” 4However, his fatherH1 and motherH517 did not knowH3045 that 7thisH1931 was of the LordH3068, for He was seekingH1245 an occasionH8385 againstH4480 the PhilistinesH6430.
