CHAPTER 13
Judges 13:1
1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the
LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. Judges 13:2
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose
name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. Judges 13:3
3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold
now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Judges 13:4
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and
eat not any unclean thing:
Judges 13:5
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his
head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall
begin to deliver Israel  out of the hand  of the Philistines. Judges 13:6
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me,
and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible:
 but I asked  him not whence he was, neither told  he me his name: Judges 13:7
7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now
drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child
shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb  to the day  of his death. Judges 13:8
8 Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which
thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the
child  that shall be born. Judges 13:9
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again
unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with
her.
Judges 13:10
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto
him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
Judges 13:11
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said
unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
Judges 13:12
12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the
child, and how shall we do unto him? Judges 13:13
13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the
woman let her beware.
Judges 13:14
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink
wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let
her observe.
Judges 13:15
15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee,
until we shall have made ready a kid for thee. Judges 13:16
16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will
not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer
it unto the LORD. For Manoah  knew  not that he was an angel  of the LORD.
Judges 13:17
17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy
sayings come to pass we may do thee honour? Judges 13:18
18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name,
seeing it is secret?
Judges 13:19
19 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto
the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Judges 13:20
20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the
altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And
Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on  their faces  to the ground.
Judges 13:21
21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then
Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD. Judges 13:22
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen
God.
Judges 13:23
23 But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would
not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither
would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told 
us such things as these.
Judges 13:24
24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew,
and the LORD blessed him.
Judges 13:25
25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan
between Zorah and Eshtaol.
CHAPTER 14
Judges 14:1
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters
of the Philistines.
Judges 14:2
2 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.
Judges 14:3
3 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. Judges 14:4
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he
sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines
had dominion over Israel.
Judges 14:5
5 Then 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
14:6
6 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. Judges 14:7
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Judges 14:8
8 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.
Judges 14:9
9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to 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. Judges 14:10
10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for
so used the young men to do.
Judges 14:11
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions
to be with him.
Judges 14:12
12 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: Judges
14:13
13 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.
Judges 14:14
14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the
strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the
riddle.
Judges 14:15
15 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?
Judges 14:16
16 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? Judges 14:17
17 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. Judges 14:18
18 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.
Judges 14:19
19 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. Judges 14:20
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his
friend.
CHAPTER 15
Judges 15:1
1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that
Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into
the chamber. But her father  would not suffer  him to go in. Judges 15:2
2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her;
therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than
she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. Judges 15:3
3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the
Philistines, though I do them a displeasure. Judges 15:4
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and
turned tail to tail, and put a  firebrand  in the midst  between two  tails.
Judges 15:5
5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn
of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn,
with the vineyards and olives. Judges 15:6
6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the
son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his
companion. And the Philistines came up,  and burnt  her and her father  with
fire.
Judges 15:7
7 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of
you, and after that I will cease. Judges 15:8
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and
dwelt in the top of the rock Etam. Judges 15:9
9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in
Lehi.
Judges 15:10
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered,
To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us. Judges 15:11
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said
to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers  over us? what is
this that thou hast done  unto us? And he said  unto them, As they did  unto
me, so have I done  unto them. Judges 15:12
12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver
thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto
me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves. Judges 15:13
13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver
thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with
two new cords, and brought him up  from the rock. Judges 15:14
14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the
Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his
arms became as flax that was burnt with fire,  and his bands  loosed  from off
his hands.
Judges 15:15
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it,
and slew a thousand men therewith. Judges 15:16
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw
of an ass have I slain a thousand men. Judges 15:17
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away
the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi. Judges 15:18
18 And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given
this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for
thirst, and fall  into the hand  of the uncircumcised? Judges 15:19
19 But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water
thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived:
wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore,  which is in Lehi  unto this
day.
Judges 15:20
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
