King James Version Help
14And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.H8123H3381H8553H7200H802H8553H1323H6430
2And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.H5927H5046H1H517H559H7200H802H8553H1323H6430H3947H802
3Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.H1H517H559H369H802H1323H251H5971H1980H3947H802H6189H6430H8123H559H1H3947H3474H5869
4But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.H1H517H3045H3068H1245H8385H6430H6256H6430H4910H3478
5Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.H3381H8123H3381H1H517H8553H935H3754H8553H3715H738H7580H7125
6And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.H7307H3068H6743H8156H8156H1423H3972H3027H5046H1H517H6213
7And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.H3381H1696H802H3474H8123H3474H5869
8And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.H3117H7725H3947H5493H7200H4658H738H5712H1682H1706H1472H738
9And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.H7287H3709H3212H398H1980H1H517H5414H398H5046H7287H1706H1472H738
10So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.H1H3381H802H8123H6213H4960H970H6213
11And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.H7200H3947H7970H4828
12And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:H8123H559H2330H2420H5046H5046H7651H3117H4960H4672H5414H7970H5466H7970H2487H899
13But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.H3201H5046H5414H7970H5466H7970H2487H899H559H2330H2420H8085
14And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.H559H398H3318H3978H5794H3318H4966H3201H7969H3117H5046H2420
15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?H7637H3117H559H8123H802H6601H376H5046H2420H8313H1H1004H784H7121H3423
16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?H8123H802H1058H559H8130H157H2330H2420H1121H5971H5046H559H5046H1H517H5046
17And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.H1058H7651H3117H4960H1961H7637H3117H5046H6693H5046H2420H1121H5971
18And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? and he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.H582H5892H559H7637H3117H2775H935H4966H1706H5794H738H559H3884H2790H5697H4672H2420
19And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.H7307H3068H6743H3381H831H5221H7970H376H3947H2488H5414H2487H5046H2420H639H2734H5927H1H1004
20But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.H8123H802H4828H7462
