Samson Marries

14 And Samson went down to Timnah, and he saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines. ² He went up and told his father and mother, and he said, “I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines; so then, take her for me as a wife.” ³ But his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a wife among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our^[a] people, that you must take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Take her for me because she pleases me.”^[b]
