Judges 15

1But it came to pass after^H3117 a while, in the time^H3117 of wheat^H2406 harvest^H7105, that Samson^H8123 visited^H6485 his wife^H802 with a kid^H1423; and he said^H559, I will go in^H935 to my wife^H802 into the chamber^H2315. But her father^H1 would not suffer^H5414 him to go in^H935. 2And her father^H1 said^H559, I verily^H559 thought^H559 that thou hadst utterly^H8130 hated^H8130 her; therefore I gave^H5414 her to thy companion^H4828: is not her younger^H6996 sister^H269 fairer^H2896 than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. 3And Samson^H8123 said^H559 unto them, This^H6471 time shall I be blameless^H5352 in regard of the Philistines^H6430, when I do^H6213 them a mischief^H7451. 4And Samson^H8123 went^H3212 and caught^H3920 three^H7969 hundred^H3967 foxes^H7776, and took^H3947 firebrands^H3940, and turned^H6437 tail^H2180 to tail^H2180, and put^H7760 a^H259 firebrand^H3940 in the midst^H8432 between every two^H8147 tails^H2180. 5And when he had set^H1197 the brands^H3940 on fire^H784, he let them go^H7971 into the standing grain^H7054 of the Philistines^H6430, and burnt up^H1197 both the shocks^H1430 and the standing grain^H7054, and also the oliveyards^H2132. 6Then the Philistines^H6430 said^H559, Who hath done^H6213 this? And they said^H559, Samson^H8123, the son-in-law^H2860 of the Timnite^H8554, because he hath taken^H3947 his wife^H802, and given^H5414 her to his companion^H4828. And the Philistines^H6430 came up^H5927, and burnt^H8313 her and her father^H1 with fire^H784. 7And Samson^H8123 said^H559 unto them, If^H518 ye do^H6213 after this^H2063 manner, surely I will be avenged^H5358 of you, and after^H310 that I will cease^H2308. 8And he smote^H5221 them hip^H7785 and^H5921 thigh^H3409 with a great^H1419 slaughter^H4347: and he went down^H3381 and dwelt^H3427 in the cleft^H5585 of the rock^H5553 of Etam^H5862. 9Then the Philistines^H6430 went up^H5927, and encamped^H2583 in Judah^H3063, and spread^H5203 themselves in Lehi^H3896. 10And the men^H376 of Judah^H3063 said^H559, Why are ye come up^H5927 against us? And they said^H559, To bind^H631 Samson^H8123 are we come up^H5927, to do^H6213 to him as he hath done^H6213 to us. 11Then three^H7969 thousand^H505 men^H376 of Judah^H3063 went^H3381 down to the cleft^H5585 of the rock^H5553 of Etam^H5862, and said^H559 to Samson^H8123, Knowest^H3045 thou not that the Philistines^H6430 are rulers^H4910 over us? what then is this that thou hast done^H6213 unto us? And he said^H559 unto them, As they did^H6213 unto me, so have I done^H6213 unto them. 12And they said^H559 unto him, We are come down^H3381 to bind^H631 thee, that we may deliver^H5414 thee into the hand^H3027 of the Philistines^H6430. And Samson^H8123 said^H559 unto them, Swear^H7650 unto me, that ye will not fall upon^H6293 me yourselves. 13And they spake^H559 unto him, saying^H559, No; but we will bind^H631 thee fast^H631, and deliver^H5414 thee into their hand^H3027: but surely^H4191 we will not kill^H4191 thee. And they bound^H631 him with two^H8147 new^H2319 ropes^H5688, and brought him up^H5927 from the rock^H5553. 14When he came^H935 unto Lehi^H3896, the Philistines^H6430 shouted^H7321 as^H7125 they met him: and the Spirit^H7307 of Jehovah^H3068 came mightily^H6743 upon him, and the ropes^H5688 that were upon his arms^H2220 became as flax^H6593 that was burnt^H1197 with fire^H784, and his bands^H612 dropped^H4549 from off his hands^H3027. 15And he found^H4672 a fresh^H2961 jawbone^H3895 of an ass^H2543, and put forth^H7971 his hand^H3027, and took^H3947 it, and smote^H5221 a thousand^H505 men^H376 therewith. 16And Samson^H8123 said^H559, With the jawbone^H3895 of an ass^H2543, heaps^H2565 upon heaps^H2565, With the jawbone^H3895 of an ass^H2543 have I smitten^H5221 a thousand^H505 men^H376. 17And it came to pass, when he had made an end^H3615 of speaking^H1696, that he cast away^H7993 the jawbone^H3895 out of his hand^H3027; and that place^H4725 was called^H7121 Ramath-lehi^H7437. 18And he was sore^H3966 athirst^H6770, and called^H7121 on Jehovah^H3068, and said^H559, Thou hast given^H5414 this great^H1419 deliverance^H8668 by the hand^H3027 of thy servant^H5650; and now shall I die^H4191 for thirst^H6772, and fall^H5307 into the hand^H3027 of the uncircumcised^H6189. 19But God^H430 clave^H1234 the hollow place^H4388 that is in Lehi^H3895, and there came^H3318 water^H4325 thereout; and when he had drunk^H8354, his spirit^H7307 came again^H7725, and he revived^H2421: wherefore the name^H8034 thereof was called^H7121 En-hakkore^H5875, which is in Lehi^H3896, unto this day^H3117. 20And he judged^H8199 Israel^H3478 in the days^H3117 of the Philistines^H6430 twenty^H6242 years^H8141.
