H3117
But it happened after
H3117
a while, in the time
H2406
of wheat
H7105
harvest,
H8123
that Samson
H6485
visited
H802
his wife
H1423
with a young goat;
H559
and he said,
H935
"I will go in
H802
to my wife
H2315
into the room."
H1
But her father
H5414
wouldn't allow
H935
him to go in.
2
H1
Her father
H559
said,
H559
"I most certainly
H559
thought
H8130
that you had utterly
H8130
hated
H5414
her; therefore I gave
H4828
her to your companion.
H6996
Isn't her younger
H269
sister
H2896
more beautiful than she? Please take her, instead."
3
H8123
Samson
H559
said
H6471
to them, "This
H5352
time I will be blameless
H6430
in regard of the Philistines,
H6213
when
H7451
I harm them."
4
H8123
Samson
H3212
went
H3920
and caught
H7969
three
H3967
hundred
H7776
foxes,
H3947
and took
H3940
torches,
H6437
and turned
H2180
tail
H2180
to tail,
H7760
and put
H259
a
H3940
torch
H8432
in the midst
H8147
between every two
H2180
tails.
5
H1197
When he had set
H3940
the brands
H784
on fire,
H7971
he let them go
H7054
into the standing grain
H6430
of the Philistines,
H1197
and burnt up
H1430
both the shocks
H7054
and the standing grain,
H2132
and also the olive groves.
6
H6430
Then the Philistines
H559
said,
H6213
"Who has done
H559
this?" They said,
H8123
"Samson,
H2860
the son-in-law
H8554
of the Timnite,
H3947
because he has taken
H802
his wife,
H5414
and given
H4828
her to his companion."
H6430
The Philistines
H5927
came up,
H8313
and burnt
H1
her and her father
H784
with fire.
7
H8123
Samson
H559
said
H518
to them, "If
H6213
you behave
H2063
like this,
H5358
surely I will be avenged
H310
of you, and after
H2308
that I will cease."
8
H5221
He struck
H7785
them hip
H5921
and
H3409
thigh
H1419
with a great
H4347
slaughter:
H3381
and he went down
H3427
and lived
H5585
in the cleft
H5553
of the rock
H5862
of Etam.
9
H6430
Then the Philistines
H5927
went up,
H2583
and encamped
H3063
in Judah,
H5203
and spread
H3896
themselves in Lehi.
10
H376
The men
H3063
of Judah
H559
said,
H5927
"Why have you come up
H559
against us?" They said,
H5927
"We have come up
H631
to bind
H8123
Samson,
H6213
to do
H6213
to him as he has done to us."
11
H7969
Then three
H505
thousand
H376
men
H3063
of Judah
H3381
went
H5585
down to the cleft
H5553
of the rock
H5862
of Etam,
H559
and said
H8123
to Samson,
H3045
"Don't you know
H6430
that the Philistines
H4910
are rulers
H6213
over us? What then is this that you have done
H559
to us?" He said
H6213
to them, "As they did
H6213
to me, so have I done to them."
12
H559
They said
H3381
to him, "We have come down
H631
to bind
H5414
you, that we may deliver
H3027
you into the hand
H6430
of the Philistines."
H8123
Samson
H559
said
H7650
to them, "Swear
H6293
to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
13
H559
They spoke
H559
to him, saying,
H631
"No; but we will bind
H631
you fast,
H5414
and deliver
H3027
you into their hand;
H4191
but surely
H4191
we will not kill
H631
you." They bound
H8147
him with two
H2319
new
H5688
ropes,
H5927
and brought him up
H5553
from the rock.
14
H935
When he came
H3896
to Lehi,
H6430
the Philistines
H7321
shouted
H7125
as
H7307
they met him: and the Spirit
H3068
of Yahweh
H6743
came mightily
H5688
on him, and the ropes
H2220
that were on his arms
H6593
became as flax
H1197
that was burnt
H784
with fire,
H612
and his bands
H4549
dropped
H3027
from off his hands.
15
H4672
He found
H2961
a fresh
H3895
jawbone
H2543
of a donkey,
H7971
and put forth
H3027
his hand,
H3947
and took
H5221
it, and struck
H505
a thousand
H376
men therewith.
16
H8123
Samson
H559
said,
H3895
"With the jawbone
H2543
of a donkey,
H2565
heaps
H2565
on heaps;
H3895
with the jawbone
H2543
of a donkey
H5221
I have struck
H505
a thousand
H376
men."
17
H3615
It happened, when he had made an end
H1696
of speaking,
H7993
that he cast away
H3895
the jawbone
H3027
out of his hand;
H4725
and that place
H7121
was called
H7437
Ramath Lehi.
18
H3966
He was very
H6770
thirsty,
H7121
and called
H3068
on Yahweh,
H559
and said,
H5414
"You have given
H1419
this great
H8668
deliverance
H3027
by the hand
H5650
of your servant;
H4191
and now shall I die
H6772
for thirst,
H5307
and fall
H3027
into the hand
H6189
of the uncircumcised?"
