And SamsonH8123 went downH3381 to TimnathH8553, and sawH7200 a womanH802 in TimnathH8553 of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And he came upH5927, and toldH5046 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and saidH559, I have seenH7200 a womanH802 in TimnathH8553 of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430: now therefore getH3947 her for me to wifeH802.
Then his fatherH1 and his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Is there neverH369 a womanH802 among the daughtersH1323 of thy brethrenH251, or among all my peopleH5971, that thou goestH1980 to takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistinesH6430? And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, GetH3947 her for me; for she pleaseth me wellH3474+H5869. {pleaseth…: Heb. is right in mine eyes}
But his fatherH1 and his motherH517 knewH3045 not that it was of the LORDH3068, that he soughtH1245 an occasionH8385 against the PhilistinesH6430: for at that timeH6256 the PhilistinesH6430 had dominionH4910 over IsraelH3478.
Then wentH3381 SamsonH8123 downH3381, and his fatherH1 and his motherH517, to TimnathH8553, and cameH935 to the vineyardsH3754 of TimnathH8553: and, behold, a youngH3715 lionH738 roaredH7580 againstH7125 him. {against…: Heb. in meeting him}
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 came mightilyH6743 upon him, and he rentH8156 him as he would have rentH8156 a kidH1423, and he had nothingH3972 in his handH3027: but he toldH5046 not his fatherH1 or his motherH517 what he had doneH6213.
And he went downH3381, and talkedH1696 with the womanH802; and she pleasedH3474 SamsonH8123 wellH3474+H5869.
And after a timeH3117 he returnedH7725 to takeH3947 her, and he turned asideH5493 to seeH7200 the carcaseH4658 of the lionH738: and, behold, there was a swarmH5712 of beesH1682 and honeyH1706 in the carcaseH1472 of the lionH738.
And he tookH7287 thereof in his handsH3709, and went onH3212 eatingH398, and cameH1980 to his fatherH1 and motherH517, and he gaveH5414 them, and they did eatH398: but he toldH5046 not them that he had takenH7287 the honeyH1706 out of the carcaseH1472 of the lionH738.
So his fatherH1 went downH3381 unto the womanH802: and SamsonH8123 madeH6213 there a feastH4960; for so used the young menH970 to doH6213.
And it came to pass, when they sawH7200 him, that they broughtH3947 thirtyH7970 companionsH4828 to be with him.
And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, I will now put forthH2330 a riddleH2420 unto you: if ye can certainlyH5046 declareH5046 it me within the sevenH7651 daysH3117 of the feastH4960, and find it outH4672, then I will giveH5414 you thirtyH7970 sheetsH5466 and thirtyH7970 changeH2487 of garmentsH899: {sheets: or, shirts}
But if ye cannotH3201 declareH5046 it me, then shall ye giveH5414 me thirtyH7970 sheetsH5466 and thirtyH7970 changeH2487 of garmentsH899. And they saidH559 unto him, Put forthH2330 thy riddleH2420, that we may hearH8085 it. {sheets: or, shirts}
And he saidH559 unto them, Out of the eaterH398 came forthH3318 meatH3978, and out of the strongH5794 came forthH3318 sweetnessH4966. And they couldH3201 not in threeH7969 daysH3117 expoundH5046 the riddleH2420.
And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they saidH559 unto Samson'sH8123 wifeH802, EnticeH6601 thy husbandH376, that he may declareH5046 unto us the riddleH2420, lest we burnH8313 thee and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 with fireH784: have ye calledH7121 us to take that we haveH3423? is it not so? {take…: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us?}
And Samson'sH8123 wifeH802 weptH1058 before him, and saidH559, Thou dost but hateH8130 me, and lovestH157 me not: thou hast put forthH2330 a riddleH2420 unto the childrenH1121 of my peopleH5971, and hast not toldH5046 it me. And he saidH559 unto her, Behold, I have not toldH5046 it my fatherH1 nor my motherH517, and shall I tellH5046 it thee?
And she weptH1058 before him the sevenH7651 daysH3117, while their feastH4960 lastedH1961: and it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that he toldH5046 her, because she lay soreH6693 upon him: and she toldH5046 the riddleH2420 to the childrenH1121 of her peopleH5971. {the seven…: or, the rest of the seven days}
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto him on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 before the sunH2775 went downH935, What is sweeterH4966 than honeyH1706? and what is strongerH5794 than a lionH738? And he saidH559 unto them, IfH3884 ye had not plowedH2790 with my heiferH5697, ye had not found outH4672 my riddleH2420.
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH6743 upon him, and he went downH3381 to AshkelonH831, and slewH5221 thirtyH7970 menH376 of them, and tookH3947 their spoilH2488, and gaveH5414 changeH2487 of garments unto them which expoundedH5046 the riddleH2420. And his angerH639 was kindledH2734, and he went upH5927 to his father'sH1 houseH1004. {spoil: or, apparel}
But Samson'sH8123 wifeH802 was given to his companionH4828, whom he had used as his friendH7462.

And all they of the landH776 cameH935 to a woodH3293; and there was honeyH1706 uponH6440 the groundH7704.
And when the peopleH5971 were comeH935 into the woodH3293, behold, the honeyH1706 droppedH1982; but no man putH5381 his handH3027 to his mouthH6310: for the peopleH5971 fearedH3372 the oathH7621.
But JonathanH3129 heardH8085 not when his fatherH1 chargedH7650 the peopleH5971 with the oathH7650: wherefore he put forthH7971 the endH7097 of the rodH4294 that was in his handH3027, and dippedH2881 it in an honeycombH3295+H1706, and putH7725 his handH3027 to his mouthH6310; and his eyesH5869 were enlightenedH215.
Then answeredH6030 oneH376 of the peopleH5971, and saidH559, Thy fatherH1 straitlyH7650 chargedH7650 the peopleH5971 with an oathH7650, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 that eatethH398 any foodH3899 this dayH3117. And the peopleH5971 were faintH5774. {faint: or, weary}
Then saidH559 JonathanH3129, My fatherH1 hath troubledH5916 the landH776: seeH7200, I pray you, how mine eyesH5869 have been enlightenedH215, because I tastedH2938 a littleH4592 of this honeyH1706.
How much moreH637, if haplyH3863 the peopleH5971 had eatenH398 freelyH398 to dayH3117 of the spoilH7998 of their enemiesH341 which they foundH4672? for had there not been now a much greaterH7235 slaughterH4347 among the PhilistinesH6430?
