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.
