07:014:002 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.

07:014:003 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.

07:014:004 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.

07:014:005 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.

07:014:006 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.

07:014:007 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased
           Samson well.

07:014:008 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.

07:014:009 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.

07:014:010 So his father went down unto the woman:  and Samson made there
           a feast; for so used the young men to do.

07:014:011 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought
           thirty companions to be with him.

07:014:012 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: 

07:014:013 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.

07:014:014 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.

07:014:015 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?
