But it cameH1961 to pass within a while after, in the timeH3117 of wheatH2406 harvest,H7105 that SamsonH8123 visitedH6485 his wifeH802 with a kid;H1423 H5795 and he said,H559 I will goH935 in to my wifeH802 into the chamber.H2315 But her fatherH1 would not sufferH5414 him to goH935 in.
2
And her fatherH1 said,H559 I trulyH559 thoughtH559 that you had utterly hatedH8130 her; therefore I gaveH5414 her to your companion:H4828 is not her youngerH6996 sisterH269 fairerH2896 than she? takeH1961 her, I prayH4994 you, insteadH8478 of her.
3
And SamsonH8123 saidH559 concerning them, NowH6471 shall I be more blamelessH5352 than the Philistines,H6430 thoughH3588 I doH6213 them a displeasure.H7451
4
And SamsonH8123 wentH3212 and caughtH3920 threeH7969 hundredH3967 foxes,H7776 and tookH3947 firebrands,H3940 and turnedH6437 tailH2180 to tail,H2180 and putH7760 a firebrandH3940 in the middleH8432 betweenH996 twoH8147 tails.H2180
5
And when he had set the brandsH3940 on fire,H784 he let them goH7971 into the standingH7054 cornH7054 of the Philistines,H6430 and burntH1197 up both the shocks,H1430 and alsoH5704 the standingH7054 corn,H7054 with the vineyardsH3754 and olives.H2132
6
Then the PhilistinesH6430 said,H559 WhoH4310 has doneH6213 this?H2063 And they answered,H559 Samson,H8123 the sonH2860 in lawH2859 of the Timnite,H8554 becauseH3588 he had takenH3947 his wife,H802 and givenH5414 her to his companion.H4828 And the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 up, and burntH8313 her and her fatherH1 with fire.H784
7
And SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, ThoughH518 you have doneH6213 this,H2063 yetH3588 H518 will I be avengedH5358 of you, and afterH310 that I will cease.H2308
8
And he smoteH5221 them hipH7785 and thighH3409 with a greatH1419 slaughter:H4347 and he wentH3381 downH3381 and dwelledH3427 in the topH5585 of the rockH5553 Etam.H5862
9
Then the PhilistinesH6430 wentH5927 up, and pitchedH2583 in Judah,H3063 and spreadH5203 themselves in Lehi.H3896
10
And the menH376 of JudahH3063 said,H559 WhyH4100 are you comeH5927 up againstH5921 us? And they answered,H559 To bindH631 SamsonH8123 are we comeH5927 up, to doH6213 to him as he has doneH6213 to us.
11
Then threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 to the topH5585 of the rockH5553 Etam,H5862 and saidH559 to Samson,H8123 KnowH3045 you not that the PhilistinesH6430 are rulersH4910 over us? whatH4100 is thisH2063 that you have doneH6213 to us? And he saidH559 to them, As they didH6213 to me, soH3651 have I doneH6213 to them.
12
And they saidH559 to him, We are comeH3381 downH3381 to bindH631 you, that we may deliverH5414 you into the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430 And SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, SwearH7650 to me, that you will not fallH6293 on me yourselves.H859
13
And they spokeH559 to him, saying,H559 No;H3808 but we will bindH631 you fast, and deliverH5414 you into their hand:H3027 but surely we will not killH4191 you. And they boundH631 him with twoH8147 newH2319 cords,H5688 and broughtH5927 him up from the rock.H5553
14
And when he cameH935 to Lehi,H3896 the PhilistinesH6430 shoutedH7321 againstH7125 him: and the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH6743 H935 mightily on him, and the cordsH5688 that were on his armsH2220 becameH1961 as flaxH6593 that was burntH1197 with fire,H784 and his bandsH612 loosedH4549 from offH5921 his hands.H3027
15
And he foundH4672 a newH2961 jawboneH3895 of an ass,H2543 and putH7971 forthH7971 his hand,H3027 and tookH3947 it, and slewH5221 a thousandH505 menH376 therewith.
16
And SamsonH8123 said,H559 With the jawboneH3895 of an ass,H2543 heapsH2565 on heaps,H2565 with the jawH3895 of an assH2543 have I slainH5221 a thousandH505 men.H376
17
And it cameH1961 to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speaking,H1696 that he castH7993 away the jawboneH3895 out of his hand,H3027 and calledH7121 that placeH4725 Ramathlehi.H7437
18
And he was soreH3966 thirsty,H6770 and calledH7121 onH413 the LORD,H3068 and said,H559 You have givenH5414 thisH2063 greatH1419 deliveranceH8668 into the handH3027 of your servant:H5650 and nowH6258 shall I dieH4191 for thirst,H6772 and fallH5307 into the handH3027 of the uncircumcised?H6189
19
But GodH430 splitH1234 an hollowH4388 place that was in the jaw,H3895 and there cameH3318 waterH4325 out of there; and when he had drunk,H8354 his spiritH7307 cameH7725 again,H7725 and he revived:H2421 whyH5921 H3651 he calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof Enhakkore,H5875 whichH834 is in LehiH3896 to thisH2063 day.H3117
20
And he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 in the daysH3117 of the PhilistinesH6430 twentyH6242 years.H8141
