07:014:016 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?

07:014:017 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.

07:014:018 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.

07:014:019 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.

07:014:020 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used
           as his friend.

07:015:001 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.

07:015:002 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.

07:015:003 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless
           than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.

07:015:004 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.

07:015:005 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.

07:015:006 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.

07:015:007 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will
           I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
