Judges 13:24And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.Judges 14:1And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.Judges 14:3Then 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.Judges 14:5Then 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.Judges 14:7And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.Judges 14:10So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.Judges 14:12And 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:Judges 14:15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?Judges 14:16And 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?Judges 14:20But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
