Judges 14:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ Now his father and mother did not know this was from the Lord,^(A) who wanted the Philistines to provide an opportunity for a confrontation.^[a] At that time, the Philistines were ruling Israel.

⁵ 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, ⁶ the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully on^(B) him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.
