Then the men of Ephraim assembled and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why have you crossed over to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down with you inside!”
Read word by wordBut Jephthah replied, “My people and I had a serious conflict with the Ammonites, and when I called, you did not save me out of their hands.
Read word by wordWhen I saw that you would not save me, I risked my life and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come today to fight against me?”
Read word by wordJephthah then gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim, living in the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh.”

Read word by wordthey told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. So at that time 42,000 Ephraimites were killed.

Read word by wordNow there was a man from Zorah named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, whose wife was barren and had no children.
Read word by wordThe angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “It is true that you are barren and have no children; but you will conceive and give birth to a son.
Read word by wordSo the woman went and told her husband, “A man of God came to me. His appearance was like the angel of God, exceedingly awesome. I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.
Read word by wordBut he said to me, ‘Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. Now, therefore, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb until the day of his death.’”
Read word by wordThen Manoah prayed to the LORD, “Please, O Lord, let the man of God You sent us come to us again to teach us how to raise the boy who is to be born.”
Read word by wordAnd God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God returned to the woman as she was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
Read word by wordThe woman ran quickly to tell her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has reappeared!”
Read word by wordSo Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” “I am,” he said.
Read word by wordThen Manoah asked, “When your words come to pass, what will be the boy’s rule of life and mission?”
Read word by wordSo the angel of the LORD answered Manoah, “Your wife is to do everything I told her.
Read word by word“Please stay here,” Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “and we will prepare a young goat for you.”
Read word by wordAnd the angel of the LORD replied, “Even if I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah did not know that it was the angel of the LORD.
Read word by wordThen Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes to pass?”
Read word by word“Why do you ask my name,” said the angel of the LORD, “since it is beyond comprehension?”
Read word by wordThen Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered them on a rock to the LORD. And as Manoah and his wife looked on, the LORD did a marvelous thing.
Read word by wordWhen the flame went up from the altar to the sky, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell facedown to the ground.
Read word by word“We are going to die,” he said to his wife, “for we have seen God!”
Read word by wordBut his wife replied, “If the LORD had intended to kill us, He would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things or spoken to us this way.”

Read word by wordAnd the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him at Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Read word by wordOne day Samson went down to Timnah, where he saw a young Philistine woman.

Read word by wordBut his father and mother replied, “Can’t you find a young woman among your relatives or among any of our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Get her for me, for she is pleasing to my eyes.”
Read word by wordThen Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Suddenly a young lion came roaring at him,
Read word by wordand the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as one would tear a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.
Read word by wordThen Samson continued on his way down and spoke to the woman, because she was pleasing to his eyes.
Read word by wordWhen Samson returned later to take her, he left the road to see the lion’s carcass, and in it was a swarm of bees, along with their honey.
Read word by wordSo he scooped some honey into his hands and ate it as he went along. And when he returned to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s carcass.
Read word by wordThen his father went to visit the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, as was customary for the bridegroom.
Read word by wordAnd when the Philistines saw him, they selected thirty men to accompany him.

Read word by wordSo on the fourth day they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband to explain the riddle to us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?”
