Judges 15:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Samson fights against the Philistines

15 Later, Samson went to visit his wife at the time of the wheat harvest. He took a young goat with him as a gift. He said to her father, ‘I am going into my wife's room to sleep with her.’ But her father stopped him. ² He said, ‘I was sure that you hated my daughter. So I have given her to your special friend to be his wife. Look at her younger sister. She is more beautiful. Take her as your wife, instead.’

³ Samson said, ‘This time I will not be guilty when I punish the Philistines!’
