Sammy went down to Timnah and saw there a young Philistine woman. When he returned, he said to his father and mother, "I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife."

His father and mother replied, "Isn't there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?" STOP!!! First of all, the father is supposed to go get a wife for him. Lucky thing this was from the LORD. But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me. She's the right one for me." Snooty kid. By the way, the philistines were ruling over Israel. So he wanted a wife from his ENEMIES!!!!
Samson went down to Timnah together with his father and mother. Noooooooo! Naughty! He's got the wrong idea. As they approached the vineyards of Timnah, suddenly a young lion came roaring toward him. The Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done. Then he went down and talked with the woman, and he liked her. HE... Why doesn't he think? At least the woman he married was from God. Then, he took honey from the bee hive in the lion's carcass with his hands, ate some, and gave some to his parents! So anyway, he had a wedding feast and told thirty people a riddle saying if they guessed it than he would give them each a garment. But if they didn't guess it than they would give him a garment each. Well after a while, they got Sammy's wife to push for him to tell it, but he wouldn't. Eventually, he got so tired of her pushing he told her, and she told the men. So Sam was mad and he went out and killed thirty Philistines, which is murder, and gave their clothes to the men. Yikes!
