H8123
And Samson
H3381 [H8799]
went down
H8553
to Timnath,
H7200 [H8799]
and saw
H802
a woman
H8553
in Timnath
H1323
of the daughters
H6430
of the Philistines.
2
H5927 [H8799]
And he came up,
H5046 [H8686]
and told
H1
his father
H517
and his mother,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H7200 [H8804]
I have seen
H802
a woman
H8553
in Timnath
H1323
of the daughters
H6430
of the Philistines:
H3947 [H8798]
now therefore get
H802
her for me for a wife.
3
H1
Then his father
H517
and his mother
H559 [H8799]
said
H369
to him, Is there not
H802
a woman
H1323
among the daughters
H251
of thy brethren,
H5971
or among all my people,
H1980 [H8802]
that thou goest
H3947 [H8800]
to take
H802
a wife
H6189
of the uncircumcised
H6430
Philistines?
H8123
And Samson
H559 [H8799]
said
H1
to his father,
H3947 [H8798]
Get
H3474 H5869 [H8804]
her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
4
H1
But his father
H517
and his mother
H3045 [H8804]
knew
H3068
not that it was of the LORD,
H1245 [H8764]
that he sought
H8385
an occasion
H6430
against the Philistines:
H6256
for at that time
H6430
the Philistines
H4910 [H8802]
had dominion
H3478
over Israel.
5
H3381 0
Then went
H8123
Samson
H3381 [H8799]
down,
H1
and his father
H517
and his mother,
H8553
to Timnath,
H935 [H8799]
and came
H3754
to the vineyards
H8553
of Timnath:
H3715
and, behold, a young
H738
lion
H7580 [H8802]
roared
H7125 [H8800]
against him.
6
H7307
And the Spirit
H3068
of the LORD
H6743 [H8799]
came mightily
H8156 [H8762]
upon him, and he tore
H8156 [H8763]
him as he would have torn
H1423
a kid,
H3972
and he had nothing
H3027
in his hand:
H5046 [H8689]
but he told
H1
not his father
H517
or his mother
H6213 [H8804]
what he had done.
7
H3381 [H8799]
And he went down,
H1696 [H8762]
and talked
H802
with the woman;
H3474 0
and she pleased
H8123
Samson
H3474 H5869 [H8799]
well.
8
H3117
And after a time
H7725 [H8799]
he returned
H3947 [H8800]
to take
H5493 [H8799]
her, and he turned aside
H7200 [H8800]
to see
H4658
the carcase
H738
of the lion:
H9002
and,
H2009
behold, there was
H5712
a swarm
H1682
of bees
H1706
and honey
H1472
in the carcase
H738
of the lion.
9
H7287 [H8799]
And he took
H3709
of it in his palms,
H3212 [H8799]
and went on
H398 [H8800]
eating,
H1980 [H8800]
and came
H1
to his father
H517
and mother,
H5414 [H8799]
and he gave
H398 [H8799]
them, and they ate:
H5046 [H8689]
but he told
H7287 [H8804]
them not that he had taken
H1706
the honey
H1472
out of the carcase
H738
of the lion.
10
H1
So his father
H3381 [H8799]
went down
H802
to the woman:
H8123
and Samson
H6213 [H8799]
made
H4960
there a feast;
H970
for so used the young men
H6213 [H8799]
to do.
11
H7200 [H8800]
And it came to pass, when they saw
H3947 [H8799]
him, that they brought
H7970
thirty
H4828
companions to be with him.
12
H8123
And Samson
H559 [H8799]
said
H2330 [H8799]
to them, I will now tell
H2420
a riddle
H5046 [H8687]
to you: if ye can certainly
H5046 [H8686]
declare
H7651
it me within the seven
H3117
days
H4960
of the feast,
H4672 [H8804]
and find it out,
H5414 [H8804]
then I will give
H7970
you thirty
H5466
sheets
H7970
and thirty
H2487
change
H899
of garments:
13
H3201 [H8799]
But if ye cannot
H5046 [H8687]
declare
H5414 [H8804]
it to me, then shall ye give
H7970
me thirty
H5466
sheets
H7970
and thirty
H2487
change
H899
of garments.
H559 [H8799]
And they said
H2330 [H8798]
to him, Tell
H2420
thy riddle,
H8085 [H8799]
that we may hear it.
14
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H398 [H8802]
to them, Out of the eater
H3318 [H8804]
came forth
H3978
food,
H5794
and out of the strong
H3318 [H8804]
came forth
H4966
sweetness.
H3201 [H8804]
And they could
H7969
not in three
H3117
days
H5046 [H8687]
expound
H2420
the riddle.
15
H7637
And it came to pass on the seventh
H3117
day,
H559 [H8799]
that they said
H8123
to Samson's
H802
wife,
H6601 [H8761]
Entice
H376
thy husband,
H5046 [H8686]
that he may declare
H2420
to us the riddle,
H8313 [H8799]
lest we burn
H1
thee and thy father's
H1004
house
H784
with fire:
H7121 [H8804]
have ye called
H3423 [H8800]
us to take what we possess? is it not so?
16
H8123
And Samson's
H802
wife
H1058 [H8799]
wept
H559 [H8799]
before him, and said,
H8130 [H8804]
Thou dost but hate
H157 [H8804]
me, and lovest
H2330 [H8804]
me not: thou hast told
H2420
a riddle
H1121
to the sons
H5971
of my people,
H5046 [H8689]
and hast not told
H559 [H8799]
it to me. And he said
H5046 [H8689]
to her, Behold, I have not told
H1
it to my father
H517
nor to my mother,
H5046 [H8686]
and shall I tell it to thee?
17
H1058 [H8799]
And she wept
H7651
before him the seven
H3117
days,
H4960
while their feast
H1961 [H8804]
lasted:
H7637
and it came to pass on the seventh
H3117
day,
H5046 [H8686]
that he told
H6693 [H8689]
her, because she pressed him so hard:
H5046 [H8686]
and she told
H2420
the riddle
H1121
to the sons
H5971
of her people.
18
H582
And the men
H5892
of the city
H559 [H8799]
said
H7637
to him on the seventh
H3117
day
H2775
before the sun
H935 [H8799]
went down,
H4966
What is sweeter
H1706
than honey?
H5794
and what is stronger
H738
than a lion?
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H3884
to them, If
H2790 [H8804]
ye had not plowed
H5697
with my heifer,
H4672 [H8804]
ye had not found out
H2420
my riddle.
19
H7307
And the Spirit
H3068
of the LORD
H6743 [H8799]
came
H3381 [H8799]
upon him, and he went down
H831
to Ashkelon,
H5221 [H8686]
and slew
H7970
thirty
H376
men
H3947 [H8799]
of them, and took
H2488
their spoil,
H5414 [H8799]
and gave
H2487
change
H5046 [H8688]
of garments to them who expounded
H2420
the riddle.
H639
And his anger
H2734 [H8799]
was kindled,
H5927 [H8799]
and he went up
H1
to his father's
H1004
house.
