Judges 15:1-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 15
Samson Defeats the Philistines. 1 After some time, in the season of the wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife, bringing a young goat. But when he said, “Let me go into my wife’s room,” her father would not let him go in. 2 He said, “I thought you hated her, so I gave her to your best man. Her younger sister is better; you may have her instead.” 3 Samson said to him, “This time I am guiltless if I harm the Philistines.”
