Judges 15:1-5

1But it came to pass within a while afterH3117, in the timeH3117 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, that SamsonH8123 visitedH6485 his wifeH802 with a kidH5795H1423; and he saidH559, I will go inH935 to my wifeH802 into the chamberH2315. But her fatherH1 would not sufferH5414 him to go inH935. 2And her fatherH1 saidH559, I verilyH559 thoughtH559 that thou hadst utterlyH8130 hatedH8130 her; therefore I gaveH5414 her to thy companionH4828: is not her youngerH6996 sisterH269 fairerH2896 than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.1

3And SamsonH8123 saidH559 concerning them, NowH6471 shall I be more blamelessH5352 than the PhilistinesH6430, though I doH6213 them a displeasureH7451.2 4And SamsonH8123 wentH3212 and caughtH3920 threeH7969 hundredH3967 foxesH7776, and tookH3947 firebrandsH3940, and turnedH6437 tailH2180 to tailH2180, and putH7760 aH259 firebrandH3940 in the midstH8432 between twoH8147 tailsH2180.3 5And when he had setH1197 the brandsH3940 on fireH784, he let them goH7971 into the standing grainH7054 of the PhilistinesH6430, and burnt upH1197 both the shocksH1430, and also the standing grainH7054, with the vineyardsH3754 and olivesH2132.
