Judges 15:1-3

Christian Standard Bible

Samson’s Revenge

15 Later on, during the wheat harvest,^(A) Samson took a young goat as a gift and visited his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.

² “I was sure you hated her,” her father said, “so I gave her to one of the men who accompanied you. Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Why not take her instead?”

³ Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless^(B) when I harm the Philistines.”
