1So, Samson dipped to Timnath and peeped a baddie from the Philistine squad.

2He went back to his fam and was like, "Yo, I saw this girl in Timnath, get her for me, she’s lit."

3His parents were like, "Aren’t there any girls from your crew or our peeps? Why you gotta go for a Philistine?" But Samson was all, "Nah, just get her for me; she’s got that rizz."

4His parents had no clue it was all part of God’s plan to pop off against the Philistines, who were running things over Israel at that time.

5So, Samson and his fam rolled down to Timnath, and while they were chillin’ in the vineyards, a young lion straight up roared at him.

6Then the Spirit of the Lord came in hot, and he ripped that lion apart like it was nothing, no cap. He didn’t tell his fam what just went down.

7He chatted it up with the girl, and she was totally vibing with him.

8Later, he came back to scoop her up and checked out the lion’s dead body, and guess what? Bees and honey were buzzing in there.

9He grabbed some honey with his hands, started munching, and shared it with his parents, but didn’t spill the tea about where it came from.

10So, his dad went to meet the girl, and Samson threw a feast 'cause that’s how the young dudes roll.

11When they saw him, they brought thirty homies to hang with him.

12Samson was like, "I got a riddle for y’all: if you can guess it in seven days, I’ll hook you up with thirty outfits."

13But if you can’t, then you owe me thirty outfits. They were like, "Bet, hit us with the riddle."

14He said, "From the eater comes food, and from the strong comes sweetness." They couldn’t crack it for three days, no lie.

15On the seventh day, they told Samson’s wife, "Get your man to spill the riddle, or we’ll burn your house down. You didn’t bring us here to take our stuff, right?"

16Samson’s wife was in tears, saying, "You hate me, don’t you? You gave a riddle to my people and didn’t tell me." He replied, "I haven’t even told my parents, so why would I tell you?"

17She cried for seven days during the feast, and on the seventh day, he finally told her 'cause she was pressing him hard. She then told her people the riddle.

18The city dudes asked him on the seventh day before sunset, "What’s sweeter than honey? What’s stronger than a lion?" He said, "If you hadn’t messed with my girl, you wouldn’t have figured it out."

19The Spirit of the Lord hit him up, and he went to Ashkelon, took out thirty guys, snagged their gear, and gave it to those who solved the riddle. He was mad and went back to his dad’s place.

20But Samson’s wife got given to his buddy, who was supposed to be his homie.

1And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

2And 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.

3Then 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.

4But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

5Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

6And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

7And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

8And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

9And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

10So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

11And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.

12And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:

13But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.

14And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?

16And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?

17And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

18And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.

19And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.

20But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
