Judges 14:1-4
1Samson went down to Timnah, where a Philistine girl caught his eye.
2When he got home, he told his father and mother, “A Philistine girl in Timnah has caught my eye. Now get her for my wife.”
3But his father and mother said to him, “Certainly you can find a wife among your relatives or among all our people! You should not have to go and get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines.” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, because she is the right one for me.”
4Now his father and mother did not realize this was the Lord’s doing, because he was looking for an opportunity to stir up trouble with the Philistines (for at that time the Philistines were ruling Israel).
