And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him. And he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them, and took their plunder. And he gave the changes to those who told the riddle; and his anger burned. And he went up to his father’s house.
And his father and his mother did not know that it was from Jehovah, that He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. For at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
And the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they said, Samson, the son-inlaw of the Timnite, because he took away his wife and gave her to his companion. And the Philistines went and burned her and her father with fire.
