| 1 | Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. | Gn 38:12 Gn 38:13 Jsh 15:10 Jsh 19:43 |
| 2 | He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me as wife. | Gn 21:21 Gn 24:2 Gn 24:3 Gn 34:4 Gn 38:6 2Ki 14:9 |
| 3 | Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well. | Gn 13:8 Gn 21:3 Gn 21:4 Gn 21:27 |
| 4 | But his father and his mother didn`t know that it was of Yahweh; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel. | Jsh 11:20 1Ki 12:15 2Ki 6:33 2Ch 10:15 2Ch 22:7 2Ch 25:20 Ps 115:3 |
| 5 | Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. |
| 6 | The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a kid; and he had nothing in his hand: but he didn`t tell his father or his mother what he had done. | Jg 3:10 Jg 11:29 Jg 13:25 1Sa 11:6 |
| 7 | He went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well. |
| 8 | After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey. | Gn 29:21 Mt 1:20 |
| 9 | He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate: but he didn`t tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion. | 1Sa 14:25-30 Pr 25:15 |
| 10 | His father went down to the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. | Gn 29:22 Es 1:7-22 Ec 10:19 Mt 22:2-4 Jn 2:9 Rev 19:9 |
| 11 | It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him. | 1Sa 10:23 1Sa 16:6 |
| 12 | Samson said to them, Let me now put forth a riddle to you: if you can declare it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing; | 1Ki 10:1 Ps 49:4 Pr 1:6 Ezk 17:2 Ezk 20:49 Mt 13:13 Mt 13:34 Lk 14:7 Jn 16:29 1Co 13:12 |
| 13 | but if you can`t declare it to me, then shall you give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing. They said to him, Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it. |
| 14 | He said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, Out of the strong came forth sweetness. They couldn`t in three days declare the riddle. | Gn 3:15 Dt 8:15 Dt 8:16 1Ki 17:6 2Ch 20:2 2Ch 20:25 Isa 53:10-12 Ro 5:3-5 Ro 8:37 2Co 4:17 2Co 12:9 2Co 12:10 Php 1:12-20 Heb 2:14 Heb 2:15 Heb 12:10 Heb 12:11 Jm 1:2-4 1Pe 2:24 |
| 15 | It happened on the seventh day, that they said to Samson`s wife, Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father`s house with fire: have you called us to impoverish us? is it not [so]? | Jg 16:5 Gn 3:1-6 Pr 1:11 Pr 5:3 Pr 6:26 Mic 7:5 |
| 16 | Samson`s wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and don`t love me: you have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven`t told it me. He said to her, Behold, I haven`t told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you? | Jg 16:15 |
| 17 | She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people. | Jg 16:6 Jg 16:13 Jg 16:16 Gn 3:6 Jb 2:9 Pr 7:21 Lk 11:8 Lk 18:4 Lk 18:5 |
| 18 | The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? He said to them, If you hadn`t plowed with my heifer, You wouldn`t have found out my riddle. |
| 19 | The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes [of clothing] to those who declared the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father`s house. | Jg 14:6 Jg 3:10 Jg 13:25 Jg 15:14 1Sa 11:6 |
| 20 | But Samson`s wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had used as his friend. | Jg 15:2 |
