Judges 13:1-5
1) The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh; and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2) There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and didn‘t bear.
3) The angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman, and said to her, See now, you are barren, and don‘t bear; but you shall conceive, and bear a son.
4) Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don‘t eat any unclean thing:
5) for, behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.


John 15:16
16) You didn‘t choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.


Psalm 139:13
13) For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother‘s womb.


Judges 14:1-6
1) Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2) He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me as wife.
3) Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.
4) But his father and his mother didn‘t know that it was of Yahweh; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
5) Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6) The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a kid; and he had nothing in his hand: but he didn‘t tell his father or his mother what he had done.


Judges 15:1-16
1) But it happened after a while, 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 wouldn‘t allow him to go in.
2) Her father said, I most assuredly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion: isn‘t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her, instead.
3) Samson said to them, This time shall I be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I do them a mischief.
4) Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails.
5) When he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
6) Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? 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 burnt her and her father with fire.
7) Samson said to them, If you do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8) He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9) Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10) The men of Judah said, Why are you come up against us? They said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
11) Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, 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?" He said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12) They said to him, We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. Samson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves.
13) They spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14) When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15) He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and struck a thousand men therewith.
16) Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.


Judges 16:3
3) Samson lay until midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.


Judges 16:25-31
25) It happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. They called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made sport before them. They set him between the pillars:
26) and Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, Allow me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house rests, that I may lean on them.
27) Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were on the roof about three thousand men and women, who saw while Samson made sport.
28) Samson called to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, remember me, Please, and strengthen me, Please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
29) Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and leaned on them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
30) Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were therein. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.
31) Then his brothers and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.
