But it came to pass within a while after{H3117}, in the time{H3117} of wheat{H2406} harvest{H7105}, that Samson{H8123} visited{H6485}{(H8799)} his wife{H802} with a kid{H1423}{H5795}; and he said{H559}{(H8799)}, I will go in{H935}{(H8799)} to my wife{H802} into the chamber{H2315}. But her father{H1} would not suffer{H5414}{(H8804)} him to go in{H935}{(H8800)}.
Judges 15:2
And her father{H1} said{H559}{(H8799)}, I verily{H559}{(H8800)} thought{H559}{(H8804)} that thou hadst utterly{H8130}{(H8800)} hated{H8130}{(H8804)} her; therefore I gave{H5414}{(H8799)} her to thy companion{H4828}: is not her younger{H6996} sister{H269} fairer{H2896} than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
Judges 15:3
And Samson{H8123} said{H559}{(H8799)} concerning them, Now{H6471} shall I be more blameless{H5352}{(H8738)} than the Philistines{H6430}, though I do{H6213}{(H8802)} them a displeasure{H7451}.

And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, As they did{H6213}{(H8804)} unto me, so have I done{H6213}{(H8804)} unto them.
Judges 15:12
