Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Judges 13
¹⁸ And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
¹⁹ So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wonderously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
²⁰ For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
²¹ But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.
²² And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
²³ But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
²⁴ And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
²⁵ And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Judges 14
¹ And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
² And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
³ Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
