Judges 14:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Samson’s Feats

14 Samson went down to Timnah. There he saw a young woman who was a Philistine. ² He went back and told his father and his mother, “I saw a Philistine woman in Timnah. Now, get her for me as a wife.”

³ But his father and mother said to him, “Is there no suitable woman among the young women of your relatives and among all our people that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?”

Samson insisted to his father, “No, get her for me—because, in my eyes, she is the right one.”
