Enduring Word Bible- The Samson Series- 3

Enduring Word Bible- #20

Judges 14
The Spirit of the Lord Rushed Upon Him

This chapter has Samson 
seeing a girl in Timnah among the Philistines
 and seeking her as his wife.
His parents are challenged to bless this union,
not seeing the hand of God in it.
Dating is a bit hard,
 as Samson encounters a lion 
when he heads to the vineyards
 of Timnah with his parents.
Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him.
He tears the lion to pieces,
 but doesn't tell his parents.
He returns later and sees honey
 in the body of the carcass of the lion.
There is the wedding celebration 
and 30 companions to celebrate with Samson.
A test is put forth of a riddle 
with a significant payout by the loser.
They can't solve the riddle 
and they ask his wife to "get it" from Samson.
She wears Samson down 
and finally he tells her.
She then tells the men of the city
 on the seventh day.
And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him.
Samson goes down to Ashkelon, 
strikes down 30 men 
and takes their garments to pay his debt.
In hot anger, Samson returns to his father's house.
  His wife is given to his companion, 
who had been his best man.
 Not exactly a picture perfect honeymoon.
But, the story unfolds as the favor
 of the Lord rests upon Samson.
