And Samson
went down
to Timnath,
and saw
a woman
in Timnath
of the daughters
of the Philistines.
And 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.

Then 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.

But 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.
Then 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.

And 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.
And he went down,
and talked
with the woman;
and she pleased
Samson
well.
And 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.

And 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.
So his father
went down
unto the woman:
and Samson
made
there a feast;
for so used the young men
to do.
And it came to pass, when they saw
him, that they brought
thirty
companions
to be with him.
And 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:

But if ye cannot
declare
it me, then shall ye give
me thirty

And they said
unto him, Put forth
thy riddle,
that we may hear
it.

unto them, Out of the eater

And they could
not in three

expound
the riddle.

And it came to pass on the seventh

unto Samson's
wife,
Entice

that he may declare
unto us the riddle,
lest we burn

house
with fire:
have ye called
us to take that we have?
is it not so?

And 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?

And 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.
And 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.

And the Spirit

upon him, and he went down
to Ashkelon,

the riddle.
And his anger
was kindled,
and he went up
to his father's
house.
