Judges 14:1-15
1
And Samson H8123 went H3381 down H3381 to Timnath, H8553 and saw H7200 a woman H802 in Timnath H8553 of the daughters H1323 of the Philistines. H6430
2
And he came H5927 up, and told H5046 his father H1 and his mother, H517 and said, H559 I have seen H7200 a woman H802 in Timnath H8553 of the daughters H1323 of the Philistines: H6430 now H6258 therefore get H3947 her for me to wife. H802
3
Then his father H1 and his mother H517 said H559 to him, Is there never H369 a woman H802 among the daughters H1323 of your brothers, H251 or among all H3605 my people, H5971 that you go H1980 to take H3947 a wife H802 of the uncircumcised H6189 Philistines? H6430 And Samson H8123 said H559 to his father, H1 Get H3947 her for me; for she pleases H3477 H5869 me well.
4
But his father H1 and his mother H517 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 H3381 Samson H8123 down, H3381 and his father H1 and his mother, H517 to Timnath, H8553 and came H935 to the vineyards H3754 of Timnath: H8553 and, behold, H2009 a young H3715 lion H738 roared H7580 against H7125 him.
6
And the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 came H6743 mightily on him, and he rent H8156 him as he would have rent H8156 a kid, H1423 and he had nothing H3972 H369 in his hand: H3027 but he told H5046 not his father H1 or his mother H517 what H853 H834 he had done. H6213
7
And he went H3381 down, H3381 and talked H1696 with the woman; H802 and she pleased H3477 H5869 Samson H8123 well.
8
And after a time H3117 he returned H7725 to take H3947 her, and he turned H5493 aside to see H7200 the carcass H4658 of the lion: H738 and, behold, H2009 there was a swarm H5712 of bees H1682 and honey H1706 in the carcass H1472 of the lion. H738
9
And he took H7287 thereof in his hands, H3709 and went H3212 on eating, H398 and came H1980 to his father H1 and mother, H517 and he gave H5414 them, and they did eat: H398 but he told H5046 not them that he had taken H7287 the honey H1706 out of the carcass H1472 of the lion. H738
10
So his father H1 went H3381 down H3381 to the woman: H802 and Samson H8123 made H6213 there H8033 a feast; H4960 for so H3651 used the young H970 men to do. H6213
11
And it came H1961 to pass, when they saw H7200 him, that they brought H3947 thirty H7970 companions H4828 to be with him.
12
And Samson H8123 said H559 to them, I will now H4994 put H2330 forth H2330 a riddle H2420 to you: if H518 you can certainly declare H5046 it me within the seven H7651 days H3117 of the feast, H4960 and find H4672 it out, then I will give H5414 you thirty H7970 sheets H5466 and thirty H7970 change H2487 of garments: H899
13
But if H518 you cannot H3808 H3201 declare H5046 it me, then shall you give H5414 me thirty H7970 sheets H5466 and thirty H7970 change H2487 of garments. H899 And they said H559 to him, Put H2330 forth H2330 your riddle, H2420 that we may hear H8085 it.
14
And he said H559 to them, Out of the eater H398 came H3318 forth H3318 meat, H3978 and out of the strong H5794 came H3318 forth H3318 sweetness. H4966 And they could H3201 not in three H7969 days H3117 expound H5046 the riddle. H2420
15
And it came H1961 to pass on the seventh H7637 day, H3117 that they said H559 to Samson's H8123 wife, H802 Entice H6601 your husband, H376 that he may declare H5046 to us the riddle, H2420 lest H6435 we burn H8313 you and your father's H1 house H1004 with fire: H784 have you called H7121 us to take H3423 that we have? is it not so?
Judges 16:22-30
22
However, the hair H8181 of his head H7218 began H2490 to grow H6779 again after H834 he was shaven. H1548
23
Then the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 gathered H6908 them together for to offer H2076 a great H1419 sacrifice H2077 to Dagon H1712 their god, H430 and to rejoice: H8057 for they said, H559 Our god H430 has delivered H5414 Samson H8123 our enemy H341 into our hand. H3027
24
And when the people H5971 saw H7200 him, they praised H1984 their god: H430 for they said, H559 Our god H430 has delivered H5414 into our hands H3027 our enemy, H341 and the destroyer H2717 of our country, H776 which H834 slew H2491 many H7235 of us.
25
And it came H1961 to pass, when H3588 their hearts H3820 were merry, H2896 that they said, H559 Call H7121 for Samson, H8123 that he may make us sport. H7832 And they called H7121 for Samson H8123 out of the prison H631 house; H1004 and he made them sport: H6711 and they set H5975 him between H996 the pillars. H5982
26
And Samson H8123 said H559 to the lad H5288 that held H2388 him by the hand, H3027 Suffer H3240 me that I may feel H4184 the pillars H5982 whereupon H834 H5921 the house H1004 stands, H3559 that I may lean H8172 on them.
27
Now the house H1004 was full H4390 of men H582 and women; H802 and all H3605 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 were there; H8033 and there were on the roof H1406 about three H7969 thousand H505 men H376 and women, H802 that beheld H7200 while Samson H8123 made sport. H7832
28
And Samson H8123 called H7121 to the LORD, H3068 and said, H559 O Lord H136 God, H3069 remember H2142 me, I pray H4994 you, and strengthen H2388 me, I pray H4994 you, only H389 this H2088 once, H6471 O God, H430 that I may be at once avenged H5358 of the Philistines H6430 for my two H8147 eyes. H5869
29
And Samson H8123 took hold H3943 of the two H8147 middle H8432 pillars H5982 on which H834 the house H1004 stood, H3559 and on H5921 which it was borne H5564 up, of the one H259 with his right H3225 hand, H3225 and of the other H259 with his left. H8040
30
And Samson H8123 said, H559 Let me die H4191 with the Philistines. H6430 And he bowed H5186 himself with all his might; H3581 and the house H1004 fell H5307 on the lords, H5633 and on all H3605 the people H5971 that were therein. So the dead H4191 which H834 he slew H4191 at his death H4194 were more H7227 than they which H834 he slew H4191 in his life. H2416
Judges 18:22-31
22
And when they were a good H7368 way from the house H1004 of Micah, H4318 the men H582 that were in the houses H1004 near H5973 to Micah's H4318 house H1004 were gathered H2199 together, and overtook H1692 the children H1121 of Dan. H1835
23
And they cried H7121 to the children H1121 of Dan. H1835 And they turned H5437 their faces, H6440 and said H559 to Micah, H4318 What H4100 ails you, that you come H2199 with such a company? H2199
24
And he said, H559 You have taken H3947 away my gods H430 which H834 I made, H6213 and the priest, H3548 and you are gone H3212 away: and what H4100 have I more? H5750 and what H4100 is this H2088 that you say H559 to me, What H4100 ails you?
25
And the children H1121 of Dan H1835 said H559 to him, Let not your voice H6963 be heard H8085 among us, lest H6435 angry H4751 H5315 fellows H582 run H6293 on you, and you lose H622 your life, H5315 with the lives H5315 of your household. H1004
26
And the children H1121 of Dan H1835 went H3212 their way: H1870 and when Micah H4318 saw H7200 that they were too strong H2389 for him, he turned H6437 and went H7725 back H7725 to his house. H1004
27
And they took H3947 the things H1697 which H834 Micah H4318 had made, H6213 and the priest H3548 which H834 he had, H1961 and came H935 to Laish, H3919 to a people H5971 that were at quiet H8252 and secure: H982 and they smote H5221 them with the edge H6310 of the sword, H2719 and burnt H8313 the city H5892 with fire. H784
28
And there was no H369 deliverer, H5337 because H3588 it was far H7350 from Zidon, H6721 and they had no H369 business H1697 with any man; H120 and it was in the valley H6010 that lies by Bethrehob. H1050 And they built H1129 a city, H5892 and dwelled H3427 therein.
29
And they called H7121 the name H8034 of the city H5892 Dan, H1835 after the name H8034 of Dan H1835 their father, H1 who H834 was born H3205 to Israel: H3478 however, H199 the name H8034 of the city H5892 was Laish H3919 at the first. H7223
30
And the children H1121 of Dan H1835 set H6965 up the graven H6459 image: and Jonathan, H3129 the son H1121 of Gershom, H1648 the son H1121 of Manasseh, H4519 he and his sons H1121 were priests H3548 to the tribe H7626 of Dan H1835 until H5704 the day H3117 of the captivity H1546 of the land. H776
31
And they set H7760 them up Micah's H4318 graven H6459 image, which H834 he made, H6213 all H3605 the time that the house H1004 of God H430 was in Shiloh. H7887

And of the Danites H1839 expert H6186 in war H4421 twenty H6242 and eight H8083 thousand H505 and six H8337 hundred. H3967
