Judges 14:1-18

And Samson
<08123>

went down
<03381> (8799)

to Timnath
<08553>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

a woman
<0802>

in Timnath
<08553>

of the daughters
<01323>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And he came up
<05927> (8799)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

a woman
<0802>

in Timnath
<08553>

of the daughters
<01323>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

now therefore get
<03947> (8798)

her for me to wife
<0802>_.

Then his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is there] never
<0369>

a woman
<0802>

among the daughters
<01323>

of thy brethren
<0251>_,

or among all my people
<05971>_,

that thou goest
<01980> (8802)

to take
<03947> (8800)

a wife
<0802>

of the uncircumcised
<06189>

Philistines
<06430>_?

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Get
<03947> (8798)

her for me; for she pleaseth me well
<03474> (8804) <05869>_.

{pleaseth...: Heb. is right in mine eyes}

But his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not that it [was] of the LORD
<03068>_,

that he sought
<01245> (8764)

an occasion
<08385>

against the Philistines
<06430>_:

for at that time
<06256>

the Philistines
<06430>

had dominion
<04910> (8802)

over Israel
<03478>_.

Then went
<03381> (0)

Samson
<08123>

down
<03381> (8799)_,

and his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>_,

to Timnath
<08553>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to the vineyards
<03754>

of Timnath
<08553>_:

and, behold, a young
<03715>

lion
<0738>

roared
<07580> (8802)

against
<07125> (8800)

him. {against...: Heb. in meeting him}

And the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came mightily
<06743> (8799)

upon him, and he rent
<08156> (8762)

him as he would have rent
<08156> (8763)

a kid
<01423>_,

and [he had] nothing
<03972>

in his hand
<03027>_:

but he told
<05046> (8689)

not his father
<01>

or his mother
<0517>

what he had done
<06213> (8804)_.

And he went down
<03381> (8799)_,

and talked
<01696> (8762)

with the woman
<0802>_;

and she pleased
<03474> (0)

Samson
<08123>

well
<03474> (8799) <05869>_.

And after a time
<03117>

he returned
<07725> (8799)

to take
<03947> (8800)

her, and he turned aside
<05493> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8800)

the carcase
<04658>

of the lion
<0738>_:

and, behold, [there was] a swarm
<05712>

of bees
<01682>

and honey
<01706>

in the carcase
<01472>

of the lion
<0738>_.

And he took
<07287> (8799)

thereof in his hands
<03709>_,

and went on
<03212> (8799)

eating
<0398> (8800)_,

and came
<01980> (8800)

to his father
<01>

and mother
<0517>_,

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

them, and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_:

but he told
<05046> (8689)

not them that he had taken
<07287> (8804)

the honey
<01706>

out of the carcase
<01472>

of the lion
<0738>_.

So his father
<01>

went down
<03381> (8799)

unto the woman
<0802>_:

and Samson
<08123>

made
<06213> (8799)

there a feast
<04960>_;

for so used the young men
<0970>

to do
<06213> (8799)_.

And it came to pass, when they saw
<07200> (8800)

him, that they brought
<03947> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

companions
<04828>

to be with him.

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I will now put forth
<02330> (8799)

a riddle
<02420>

unto you: if ye can certainly
<05046> (8687)

declare
<05046> (8686)

it me within the seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

of the feast
<04960>_,

and find [it] out
<04672> (8804)_,

then I will give
<05414> (8804)

you thirty
<07970>

sheets
<05466>

and thirty
<07970>

change
<02487>

of garments
<0899>_:

{sheets: or, shirts}

But if ye cannot
<03201> (8799)

declare
<05046> (8687)

[it] me, then shall ye give
<05414> (8804)

me thirty
<07970>

sheets
<05466>

and thirty
<07970>

change
<02487>

of garments
<0899>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Put forth
<02330> (8798)

thy riddle
<02420>_,

that we may hear
<08085> (8799)

it. {sheets: or, shirts}

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Out of the eater
<0398> (8802)

came forth
<03318> (8804)

meat
<03978>_,

and out of the strong
<05794>

came forth
<03318> (8804)

sweetness
<04966>_.

And they could
<03201> (8804)

not in three
<07969>

days
<03117>

expound
<05046> (8687)

the riddle
<02420>_.

And it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samson's
<08123>

wife
<0802>_,

Entice
<06601> (8761)

thy husband
<0376>_,

that he may declare
<05046> (8686)

unto us the riddle
<02420>_,

lest we burn
<08313> (8799)

thee and thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>

with fire
<0784>_:

have ye called
<07121> (8804)

us to take that we have
<03423> (8800)_?

[is it] not [so]? {take...: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us?}

And Samson's
<08123>

wife
<0802>

wept
<01058> (8799)

before him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou dost but hate
<08130> (8804)

me, and lovest
<0157> (8804)

me not: thou hast put forth
<02330> (8804)

a riddle
<02420>

unto the children
<01121>

of my people
<05971>_,

and hast not told
<05046> (8689)

[it] me. And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Behold, I have not told
<05046> (8689)

[it] my father
<01>

nor my mother
<0517>_,

and shall I tell
<05046> (8686)

[it] thee?

And she wept
<01058> (8799)

before him the seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

while their feast
<04960>

lasted
<01961> (8804)_:

and it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that he told
<05046> (8686)

her, because she lay sore
<06693> (8689)

upon him: and she told
<05046> (8686)

the riddle
<02420>

to the children
<01121>

of her people
<05971>_.

{the seven...: or, the rest of the seven days}

And the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>

before the sun
<02775>

went down
<0935> (8799)_,

What [is] sweeter
<04966>

than honey
<01706>_?

and what [is] stronger
<05794>

than a lion
<0738>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, If
<03884>

ye had not plowed
<02790> (8804)

with my heifer
<05697>_,

ye had not found out
<04672> (8804)

my riddle
<02420>_.
