Judges 14 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Then Samson ^H8123 went ^H3381 down ^H3381 to Timnah ^H8553 with his father ^H1 and mother ^H517, and came ^H935 as far ^H5704 as the vineyards ^H3754 of Timnah ^H8553; and behold ^H2009, a young ^H3715 lion ^H738 came roaring ^H7580 toward ^H7122 him.

Then his father ^H1 went ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the woman ^H802; and Samson ^H8123 held ^H6213 a feast ^H4960 there ^H8033, for the young ^H970 men ^H970 customarily did ^H6213 this ^H3651.

“Out ^H3318 of the eater ^H398 came ^H3318 something ^H3978 to ^H3978 eat ^H3978,

And out ^H3318 of the strong ^H5794 came ^H3318 something ^H4966 sweet ^H4966.”

But they could ^H3201 not tell ^H5046 the answer to the riddle ^H2420 in three ^H7969 days ^H3117.

Then it came ^H1961 about ^H1961 on the [fn]fourth day ^H3117 that they said ^H559 to Samson’s ^H8123 wife ^H802, “Entice ^H6601 your husband ^H376, so that he will tell ^H5046 us the riddle ^H2420, or ^H6435 we will burn ^H8313 you and your father’s ^H1 house ^H1004 with fire ^H784. Have you invited ^H7121 us to impoverish ^H3423 us? Is this not so?”

“What ^H4100 is sweeter ^H4966 than ^H4480 honey ^H1706?

And what ^H4100 is stronger ^H5794 than ^H4480 a lion ^H738?”

And he said ^H559 to them,

“If ^H3884 you had not plowed ^H2790 with my heifer ^H5697,

You would not have found ^H4672 out ^H4672 my riddle ^H2420.”

Then the Spirit ^H7307 of the LORD ^H3068 rushed ^H6743 upon ^H5921 him, and he went ^H3381 down ^H3381 to Ashkelon ^H831 and killed ^H5221 thirty ^H7970 men ^H376 of them and took ^H3947 what ^H2488 they were wearing ^H2488 and gave ^H5414 the outfits ^H2487 of ^H2487 clothes ^H2487 to those who told ^H5046 the riddle ^H2420. And his anger ^H639 burned ^H2734, and he went ^H5927 up ^H5927 to his father’s ^H1 house ^H1004.
