Judges 14 (KJV)

And Samson

went down

to Timnath,

and saw

a woman

in Timnath

of the daughters

of the Philistines.

And he came up,

and told

his father

and his mother,

and said,

I have seen

a woman

in Timnath

of the daughters

of the Philistines:

now

therefore get

her for me to wife.

Then 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.

And the Spirit

of the Lord

came mightily

upon

him, and he rent

him as he would have rent

a kid,

and he had nothing

in his hand:

but he told

not

his father

or his mother

what

he had done.

And he went down,

and talked

with the woman;

and she pleased

Samson

well.

And after a time

he returned

to take

her, and he turned aside

to see

the carcase

of the lion:

and, behold,

there was a swarm

of bees

and honey

in the carcase

of the lion.

And he took

thereof in

his hands,

and went on

eating,

and came

his father

and mother,

and he gave

them, and they did eat:

but he told

not

them that

he had taken

the honey

out of the carcase

of the lion.

So his father

went down

unto

the woman:

and Samson

made

there

a feast;

for

used the young men

to do.

And it came to pass,

when they saw

him, that they brought

thirty

companions

to be

with

him.

And 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:

But if

ye cannot

declare

it me, then shall ye

give

me thirty

sheets

and thirty

change

of garments.

And they said

unto him, Put forth

thy riddle,

that we may hear

it.

And 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?

And 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?

And she wept

before

him the seven

days,

while

their feast

lasted:

and it came to pass

on the seventh

day,

that he told

her, because

she lay sore

upon him: and she told

the riddle

to the children

of her people.

And the men

of the city

said

unto him on the seventh

day

before

the sun

went down,

What

is sweeter

than honey?

and what

is stronger

than a lion?

And he said

unto them, If

ye had not plowed

with my heifer,

ye had not

found out

my riddle.

And the Spirit

of the Lord

came

upon

him, and he went down

to Ashkelon,

and slew

thirty

men

of them, and took

their spoil,

and gave

change

of garments unto them which expounded

the riddle.

And his anger

was kindled,

and he went up

to his father's

house.

But Samson's

wife

was

given to his companion,

whom

he had used as his friend.
