Judges 14:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ (Samson’s parents did not know that ·the Lord wanted this to happen [this was from the Lord] because he was looking for a ·way [opportunity] to challenge the Philistines, who were ruling over Israel at this time.) ⁵ Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah, as far as the vineyard near there. ·Suddenly [^TAnd behold], a young lion came roaring toward Samson! ⁶ The Spirit of the Lord ·entered Samson with great power [empowered/came upon/rushed upon him; 3:10; 6:34; 11:29], and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands. ·For him it was as easy as tearing apart [^L…as one tears] a young goat. But Samson did not tell his father or mother what he had done.
