Judges 15:1-8

1But it cameH935 to passH935 afterH1961 a whileH1961, in the time of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, that SamsonH8123 visitedH935 his wifeH802 with a kid; and he saidH559, I will goH935 in to my wifeH802 intoH413 the chamberH2315. But herH413 fatherH1 would notH3808 sufferH1961 him to goH935 in.

2And herH5414 fatherH1 saidH559, I verily thoughtH559 that thou hadst utterly hatedH8130 herH5414; therefore I gaveH5414 herH5414 to thy companionH4828: is notH3808 herH5414 youngerH6996 sisterH269 fairer thanH4480 sheH3588? takeH1961 herH5414, I prayH4994 thee, insteadH8478 of herH5414.

3And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, This time shall I be blamelessH5352 in regardH5973 of the PhilistinesH6430, when I doH6213 them a mischief.

4And SamsonH8123 wentH413 and caughtH3920 threeH7969 hundredH3967 foxesH7776, and tookH3947 firebrands, and turnedH6437 tailH2180 to tailH2180, and putH7760 a firebrand in the midstH8432 betweenH996 everyH259 twoH8147 tailsH2180.

5And when he had setH7971 the brands on fireH784, he letH7971 them goH7971 into the standingH7054 corn of the PhilistinesH6430, and burnt upH5704 both the shocks and the standingH7054 corn, and also the oliveyards.

6Then the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Who hath doneH6213 this? And they saidH559, SamsonH8123, the son in law of the TimniteH8554, becauseH3588 he hath takenH3947 his wifeH802, and givenH5414 herH3947 to his companionH4828. And the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 upH5927, and burntH5927 herH3947 and herH3947 fatherH1 with fireH784.

7And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, IfH518 ye doH6213 afterH310 this manner, surelyH3588 I will be avengedH5358 of youH3588, and afterH310 that I will ceaseH2308.

8And he smoteH5221 them hipH3409 and thighH3409 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347: and he wentH3381 downH3381 and dweltH3427 in the cleftH5585 of the rockH5553 of EtamH5862.
