Judges 15:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Samson Gets Even With the Philistines

15 Later on, Samson went to visit his wife. He took a young goat with him. He went at the time the wheat was being gathered. He said, “I’m going to my wife’s room.” But her father wouldn’t let him go in.

² Her father said, “I was sure you hated her. So I gave her to your companion. Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful? Take her instead.”

³ Samson said to them, “This time I have a right to get even with the Philistines. I’m going to hurt them badly.”
