Judges 14:6 in Context — Judges 14

4 Son père et sa mère ne savaient pas que cela venait de l’Éternel: car Samson cherchait une occasion de dispute de la part des Philistins. En ce temps-là, les Philistins dominaient sur Israël.

5 Samson descendit avec son père et sa mère à Thimna. Lorsqu’ils arrivèrent aux vignes de Thimna, voici, un jeune lion rugissant vint à sa rencontre.

6 L’esprit de l’Éternel saisit Samson; et, sans avoir rien à la main, Samson déchira le lion comme on déchire un chevreau. Il ne dit point à son père et à sa mère ce qu’il avait fait.

7 Il descendit et parla à la femme, et elle lui plut.
