Summary of Judges 14
Judges 14 tells the story of Samson, a man chosen by God with incredible strength.Samson goes to Timnah and falls in love with a Philistine woman (even though Israelites weren’t supposed to marry Philistines).His parents are unsure but go with him.On the way, Samson kills a lion with his bare hands, and later finds bees and honey in its carcass. He eats the honey and gives some to his parents, but doesn’t tell them where it came from.At the wedding feast, Samson gives the Philistines a riddle:"Out of the eater came something to eat,Out of the strong came something sweet."They can’t solve it, so they get Samson’s wife to coax the answer from him.She nags for seven days until he tells her, and she tells them.When they answer the riddle, Samson knows what happened and says:"If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle."In anger, he kills 30 Philistines to pay the wager.Then he leaves, and his wife is given to another man.Your words were found and I ate them 😋; Your words became a joy 😊 to me; the delight of my heart ❤️Jeremiah 15:16Originally inspired by J.
