Judges 14:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ Then his father and his mother said to him, “Is there never a wife among the daughters of your brethren, and among all my people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” And Samson said to his father, “Give me her, for she pleases me well.”

⁴ But his father and his mother did not know that it came from the LORD, that he was seeking an opportunity against the Philistines. For at that time, the Philistines reigned over Israel.

⁵ Then Samson and his father and his mother went down to Timnah and came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion roared upon him.
