Judges 15:1-3

International Standard Version

Samson Burns the Philistine Harvest

15 A while later during the wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife, bringing along a young goat, and told his father-in-law,^[a] “I’m going into my wife’s room.” But her father wouldn’t give permission for him^[b] to go.

² Her father said, “Because I honestly thought that you hated her deeply, I gave her in marriage to your best man.^[c] Isn’t her younger sister better than she? Please then, let her be yours instead.”

³ Samson replied to them, “This time I’ll be blameless when I do something evil to the Philistines.”
