Judges 15

1 ♥ 📝 B ut 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

2 ♥ 📝 And 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.

3 ♥ 📝 And 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

4 ♥ 📝 And 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

5 ♥ 📝 And 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

6 ♥ 📝 Then 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

7 ♥ 📝 And 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

8 ♥ 📝 And 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

9 ♥ 📝 Then the Philistines^H6430 went up,^H5927 and encamped^H2583 in Judah,^H3063 and spread^H5203 themselves in Lehi.^H3896

10 ♥ 📝 And 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.

11 ♥ 📝 Then 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.

12 ♥ 📝 And 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.

13 ♥ 📝 And 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

14 ♥ 📝 When 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

15 ♥ 📝 And 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.

16 ♥ 📝 And 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

17 ♥ 📝 And 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

18 ♥ 📝 And 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

19 ♥ 📝 But 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

20 ♥ 📝 And he judged^H8199 Israel^H3478 in the days^H3117 of the Philistines^H6430 twenty^H6242 years.^H8141
