M i g h t y S a m s o n 19 Samson: Then, at the time of wheat harvest, I took a young goat and went to visit my wife. But her father would not let me go in to see her and said I came too late, and that he married her off to one of my companions. And he wanted me to marry her sister instead saying she was more attractive. So, I said to her father “This time I have a right to get even with the Philistines; I will really harm them” 2nd Jew: The philistines say you burnt their wheat fields and destroyed their olive groves and vineyards. Did you do so? Samson: Yes, I did; because my wife’s father married her off to one of my men. When the Philistines found out that one of them gave his daughter in marriage to a Jew, they went up and burned her and her father to death. So, I swore I won’t stop until I get my revenge on you, Philistines. I attacked them viciously and slaughtered many of them. Then I went down and stayed in this cave in the rock of Etam. 3rd Jew: Well, We’ve come to tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines. Samson: I agree, provided that you swear to me that you won’t kill me yourselves.
