to°
my wife°
into the chamber.°

|
15:2
And her father°
said,°°
I verily°°
thought°°
that°
thou hadst utterly°°
hated°°
her; therefore I gave°°
her to thy companion:°
[is] not°
her younger°
sister°
fairer°
than°
she? take°
her, I pray thee,°
instead°
of her. |

thousand°
men°
of Judah°°
went°°
to°
the top°

and said°°
to Samson,°
Knowest°°
thou not°
that°
the Philistines°
[are] rulers°°
over us? what°
[is] this°

unto us? And he said°°
unto them, As°
they did°°
unto me, so°
have I done°°
unto them. |

unto him, saying,°°
No;°
but°
we will bind°°
thee fast,°°

new°
cords,°

15:14 ¶
[And] when he°
came°°
unto°

upon°
him, and the cords°
that°
[were] upon°
his arms°
became°
as flax°
that°
was burnt°°
with fire,°
and his bands°
loosed°°
from off°°
his hands.° |

athirst,°°°

on°
Yahweh,°

Thou°
hast given°°°
this°
great°
deliverance°
into the hand°
of thy servant:°
and now°
shall I die°°
for thirst,°
and fall°°
into the hand°
of the uncircumcised?° |

clave°°°
an hollow place°
that°
[was] in the jaw,°
and there came°°
water°
thereout;°
and when he had drunk,°°
his spirit°
came again,°°
and he revived:°°
wherefore°°
he called°°
the name°
thereof Enhakkore,°
which°
[is] in Lehi°
unto°
this°
day.° |
|
15:20
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. |
