But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat. He said, “I will go in to my wife’s room.” Gen 38:17Gen 29:21Luk 15:29Gen 6:4
But her father wouldn’t allow him to go in. Her father said, “I most certainly thought that you utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please, take her instead.” Jdg 14:20Gen 38:14Jdg 14:16Act 26:9
Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in the case of the Philistines when I harm them.” Jdg 14:15 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the middle between every two tails. Lam 5:18Psa 63:10Sng 2:15 When he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves. 2Sa 14:30Exo 22:6
Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” Jdg 14:151Th 4:6Pro 22:8Jdg 12:1
They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” The Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.” Rom 12:19Jdg 14:19Jdg 14:4 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cave in Etam’s rock. Isa 25:10Isa 63:3Isa 63:6 Then the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. Jdg 15:17Jdg 15:19Jdg 15:14
The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?”
They said, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in Etam’s rock, and said to Samson, “Don’t you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?” Jdg 13:1Jdg 14:4Psa 106:40-42Deu 28:13Deu 28:47-48
He said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”
They said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Mat 27:21Ki 2:251Ki 2:34Act 7:25Jdg 8:21
Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”
They spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will bind you securely and deliver you into their hands; but surely we will not kill you.” They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burned with fire; and his bands dropped from off his hands. Jdg 14:19Psa 118:111Sa 11:61Sa 17:35Jdg 14:6Jdg 3:101Sa 4:5Exo 14:3 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, put out his hand, took it, and struck a thousand men with it. Jos 23:10Lev 26:8Jdg 3:311Sa 17:49-501Co 1:27-28Jdg 4:211Sa 14:141Sa 14:6 Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.” When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi. 1
He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” 2Co 12:7-8Psa 22:14-15Psa 3:7-81Sa 17:261Sa 17:361Sa 27:12Co 1:8-92Co 4:8-9
But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day. Gen 45:27Isa 44:3Psa 34:6Gen 16:13Isa 40:291Sa 30:12Exo 17:15Gen 28:19 He judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines. Jdg 13:1Jdg 16:31Jdg 13:5Heb 11:32
