1 # But it came to pass within a while after <03117>, in the time <03117> of wheat <02406> harvest <07105>, that Samson <08123> visited <06485> (8799) his wife <0802> with a kid <01423> <05795>; and he said <0559> (8799), I will go in <0935> (8799) to my wife <0802> into the chamber <02315>. But her father <01> would not suffer <05414> (8804) him to go in <0935> (8800).
2 And her father <01> said <0559> (8799), I verily <0559> (8800) thought <0559> (8804) that thou hadst utterly <08130> (8800) hated <08130> (8804) her; therefore I gave <05414> (8799) her to thy companion <04828> : is not her younger <06996> sister <0269> fairer <02896> than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
3 And Samson <08123> said <0559> (8799) concerning them, Now <06471> shall I be more blameless <05352> (8738) than the Philistines <06430>, though I do <06213> (8802) them a displeasure <07451>.
4 And Samson <08123> went <03212> (8799) and caught <03920> (8799) three <07969> hundred <03967> foxes <07776>, and took <03947> (8799) firebrands <03940>, and turned <06437> (8686) tail <02180> to tail <02180>, and put <07760> (8799) a <0259> firebrand <03940> in the midst <08432> between two <08147> tails <02180>.
5 And when he had set <01197> (8686) the brands <03940> on fire <0784>, he let them go <07971> (8762) into the standing corn <07054> of the Philistines <06430>, and burnt up <01197> (8686) both the shocks <01430>, and also the standing corn <07054>, with the vineyards <03754> and olives <02132>.
6 Then the Philistines <06430> said <0559> (8799), Who hath done <06213> (8804) this? And they answered <0559> (8799), Samson <08123>, the son in law <02860> of the Timnite <08554>, because he had taken <03947> (8804) his wife <0802>, and given <05414> (8799) her to his companion <04828>. And the Philistines <06430> came up <05927> (8799) , and burnt <08313> (8799) her and her father <01> with fire <0784>.
7 And Samson <08123> said <0559> (8799) unto them, Though <0518> ye have done <06213> (8799) this <02063>, yet will I be avenged <05358> (8738) of you, and after <0310> that I will cease <02308> (8799).
8 And he smote <05221> (8686) them hip <07785> and <05921> thigh <03409> with a great <01419> slaughter <04347>: and he went down <03381> (8799) and dwelt <03427> (8799) in the top <05585> of the rock <05553> Etam <05862>.
9 # Then the Philistines <06430> went up <05927> (8799), and pitched <02583> (8799) in Judah <03063> , and spread <05203> (8735) themselves in Lehi <03896>.
10 And the men <0376> of Judah <03063> said <0559> (8799), Why are ye come up <05927> (8804) against us? And they answered <0559> (8799), To bind <0631> (8800) Samson <08123> are we come up <05927> (8804), to do <06213> (8800) to him as he hath done <06213> (8804) to us.
11 Then three <07969> thousand <0505> men <0376> of Judah <03063> went <03381> (8799) to the top <05585> of the rock <05553> Etam <05862>, and said <0559> (8799) to Samson <08123>, Knowest <03045> (8804) thou not that the Philistines <06430> are rulers <04910> (8802) over us? what is this that thou hast done <06213> (8804) unto us? And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, As they did <06213> (8804) unto me, so have I done <06213> (8804) unto them.
12 And they said <0559> (8799) unto him, We are come down <03381> (8804) to bind <0631> (8800) thee, that we may deliver <05414> (8800) thee into the hand <03027> of the Philistines <06430>. And Samson <08123> said <0559> (8799) unto them, Swear <07650> (8734) unto me, that ye will not fall upon <06293> (8799) me yourselves.
13 And they spake <0559> (8799) unto him, saying <0559> (8800), No; but we will bind <0631> (8799) thee fast <0631> (8800), and deliver <05414> (8804) thee into their hand <03027>: but surely <04191> (8687) we will not kill <04191> (8686) thee. And they bound <0631> (8799) him with two <08147> new <02319> cords <05688>, and brought him up <05927> (8686) from the rock <05553>.
14 And when he came <0935> (8804) unto Lehi <03896>, the Philistines <06430> shouted <07321> (8689) against <07125> (8800) him: and the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> came mightily <06743> (8799) upon him, and the cords <05688> that were upon his arms <02220> became as flax <06593> that was burnt <01197> (8804) with fire <0784>, and his bands <0612> loosed <04549> (8735) from off his hands <03027>.
 - SPIRIT OF GOD
15 And he found <04672> (8799) a new <02961> jawbone <03895> of an ass <02543>, and put forth <07971> (8799) his hand <03027>, and took <03947> (8799) it, and slew <05221> (8686) a thousand <0505> men <0376> therewith.
16 And Samson <08123> said <0559> (8799), With the jawbone <03895> of an ass <02543>, heaps <02565> upon heaps <02565>, with the jaw <03895> of an ass <02543> have I slain <05221> (8689) a thousand <0505> men <0376> .
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end <03615> (8763) of speaking <01696> (8763), that he cast away <07993> (8686) the jawbone <03895> out of his hand <03027>, and called <07121> (8799) that place <04725> Ramathlehi <07437> .
18 # And he was sore <03966> athirst <06770> (8799), and called <07121> (8799) on the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), Thou hast given <05414> (8804) this great <01419> deliverance <08668> into the hand <03027> of thy servant <05650>: and now shall I die <04191> (8799) for thirst <06772>, and fall <05307> (8804) into the hand <03027> of the uncircumcised <06189>?
19 But God <0430> clave <01234> (8799) an hollow place <04388> that was in the jaw <03895>, and there came <03318> (8799) water <04325> thereout; and when he had drunk <08354> (8799), his spirit <07307> came again <07725> (8799), and he revived <02421> (8799): wherefore he called <07121> (8802) the name <08034> thereof Enhakkore <05875> , which is in Lehi <03896> unto this day <03117>.
20 And he judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478> in the days <03117> of the Philistines <06430> twenty <06242> years <08141>.
