Judges Chapter 14 - King James Strong Number Version
- 1
- And Samson <H8123> went down <H3381> to Timnath, <H8553> and saw <H7200> a woman <H0802> in Timnath <H8553> of the daughters <H1323> of the Philistines. <H6430>
- 2
- And he came up, <H5927> and told <H5046> his father <H0001> and his mother, <H0517> and said, <H0559> I have seen <H7200> a woman <H0802> in Timnath <H8553> of the daughters <H1323> of the Philistines: <H6430> now therefore get <H3947> her for me to wife. <H0802>
- 3
- Then his father <H0001> and his mother <H0517> said <H0559> unto him, [Is there] never <H0369> a woman <H0802> among the daughters <H1323> of thy brethren, <H0251> or among all my people, <H5971> that thou goest <H1980> to take <H3947> a wife <H0802> of the uncircumcised <H6189> Philistines? <H6430> And Samson <H8123> said <H0559> unto his father, <H0001> Get <H3947> her for me; for she pleaseth <H3474> <H5869> me well.
- 4
- But his father <H0001> and his mother <H0517> knew <H3045> not that it [was] of the LORD, <H3068> that he sought <H1245> an occasion <H8385> against the Philistines: <H6430> for at that time <H6256> the Philistines <H6430> had dominion <H4910> over Israel. <H3478>
- 5
- Then went Samson <H8123> down, <H3381> and his father <H0001> and his mother, <H0517> to Timnath, <H8553> and came <H0935> to the vineyards <H3754> of Timnath: <H8553> and, behold, a young <H3715> lion <H0738> roared <H7580> against <H7125> him.
- 6
- And the Spirit <H7307> of the LORD <H3068> came mightily <H6743> upon him, and he rent <H8156> him as he would have rent <H8156> a kid, <H1423> and [he had] nothing <H0369> <H3972> in his hand: <H3027> but he told <H5046> not his father <H0001> or his mother <H0517> what he had done. <H6213>
- 7
- And he went down, <H3381> and talked <H1696> with the woman; <H0802> and she pleased <H3474> <H5869> Samson <H8123> well.
- 8
- And after a time <H3117> he returned <H7725> to take <H3947> her, and he turned aside <H5493> to see <H7200> the carcase <H4658> of the lion: <H0738> and, behold, [there was] a swarm <H5712> of bees <H1682> and honey <H1706> in the carcase <H1472> of the lion. <H0738>
- 9
- And he took <H7287> thereof in his hands, <H3709> and went <H3212> on <H1980> eating, <H0398> and came <H3212> to his father <H0001> and mother, <H0517> and he gave <H5414> them, and they did eat: <H0398> but he told <H5046> not them that he had taken <H7287> the honey <H1706> out of the carcase <H1472> of the lion. <H0738>
- 10
- So his father <H0001> went down <H3381> unto the woman: <H0802> and Samson <H8123> made <H6213> there a feast; <H4960> for so used the young men <H0970> to do. <H6213>
- 11
- And it came to pass, when they saw <H7200> him, that they brought <H3947> thirty <H7970> companions <H4828> to be with him.
- 12
- And Samson <H8123> said <H0559> unto them, I will now put forth <H2330> a riddle <H2420> unto you: if ye can certainly <H5046> declare <H5046> it me within the seven <H7651> days <H3117> of the feast, <H4960> and find [it] out, <H4672> then I will give <H5414> you thirty <H7970> sheets <H5466> and thirty <H7970> change <H2487> of garments: <H0899>
- 13
- But if ye cannot <H3808> <H3201> declare <H5046> [it] me, then shall ye give <H5414> me thirty <H7970> sheets <H5466> and thirty <H7970> change <H2487> of garments. <H0899> And they said <H0559> unto him, Put forth <H2330> thy riddle, <H2420> that we may hear <H8085> it.
- 14
- And he said <H0559> unto them, Out of the eater <H0398> came forth <H3318> meat, <H3978> and out of the strong <H5794> came forth <H3318> sweetness. <H4966> And they could <H3201> not in three <H7969> days <H3117> expound <H5046> the riddle. <H2420>
- 15
- And it came to pass on the seventh <H7637> day, <H3117> that they said <H0559> unto Samson's <H8123> wife, <H0802> Entice <H6601> thy husband, <H0376> that he may declare <H5046> unto us the riddle, <H2420> lest we burn <H8313> thee and thy father's <H0001> house <H1004> with fire: <H0784> have ye called <H7121> us to take that we have? <H3423> [is it] not [so]?
- 16
- And Samson's <H8123> wife <H0802> wept <H1058> before him, and said, <H0559> Thou dost but hate <H8130> me, and lovest <H0157> me not: thou hast put forth <H2330> a riddle <H2420> unto the children <H1121> of my people, <H5971> and hast not told <H5046> [it] me. And he said <H0559> unto her, Behold, I have not told <H5046> [it] my father <H0001> nor my mother, <H0517> and shall I tell <H5046> [it] thee?
- 17
- And she wept <H1058> before him the seven <H7651> days, <H3117> while their feast <H4960> lasted: <H1961> and it came to pass on the seventh <H7637> day, <H3117> that he told <H5046> her, because she lay sore <H6693> upon him: and she told <H5046> the riddle <H2420> to the children <H1121> of her people. <H5971>
- 18
- And the men <H0582> of the city <H5892> said <H0559> unto him on the seventh <H7637> day <H3117> before the sun <H2775> went down, <H0935> What [is] sweeter <H4966> than honey? <H1706> And what [is] stronger <H5794> than a lion? <H0738> And he said <H0559> unto them, If <H3884> ye had not plowed <H2790> with my heifer, <H5697> ye had not found out <H4672> my riddle. <H2420>
- 19
- And the Spirit <H7307> of the LORD <H3068> came <H6743> upon him, and he went down <H3381> to Ashkelon, <H0831> and slew <H5221> thirty <H7970> men <H0376> of them, and took <H3947> their spoil, <H2488> and gave <H5414> change <H2487> of garments unto them which expounded <H5046> the riddle. <H2420> And his anger <H0639> was kindled, <H2734> and he went up <H5927> to his father's <H0001> house. <H1004>
- 20
- But Samson's <H8123> wife <H0802> was [given] to his companion, <H4828> whom he had used as his friend. <H7462>
