The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 094 Judges
-- 12{1} And the
men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto
Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon,
and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with
fire. {2} And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great
strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not
out of their hands. {3} And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I
put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the
LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day,
to fight against me? {4} Then Jephthah gathered together all the men
of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because
they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among
the Manassites. {5} And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan
before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were
escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an
Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; {6} Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth:
and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they
took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time
of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand. {7} And Jephthah judged
Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the
cities of Gilead. {8} And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
{9} And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad,
and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven
years. {10} Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem. {11}
And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
{12} And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country
of Zebulun. {13} And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite,
judged Israel. {14} And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that
rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years. {15}
And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in
the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites. Judges
-- 13{1} And the
children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered
them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. {2} And there was
a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and
his wife was barren, and bare not. {3} And the angel of the LORD appeared
unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not:
but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. {4} Now therefore beware,
I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
{5} For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no rasor shall come
on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he
shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. {6}
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and
his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but
I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: {7} But
he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no
wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a
Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death. {8} Then Manoah
intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send
come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be
born. {9} And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of
God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband
was not with her. {10} And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed
her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came
unto me the other day. {11} And Manoah arose, and went after his wife,
and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the
woman? And he said, I am. {12} And Manoah said, Now let thy words come
to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? {13}
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman
let her beware. {14} She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the
vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all
that I commanded her let her observe. {15} And Manoah said unto the
angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready
a kid for thee. {16} And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though
thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering,
thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of
the LORD. {17} And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is
thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour? {18}
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing
it is secret? {19} So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered
it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his
wife looked on. {20} For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward
heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of
the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the
ground. {21} But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah
and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD. {22}
And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
{23} But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he
would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither
would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told
us such things as these. {24} And the woman bare a son, and called
his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. {25}
And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between
Zorah and Eshtaol. Judges
-- 14{1} And Samson
went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
{2} And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have
seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get
her for me to wife. {3} Then his father and his mother said unto him,
Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people,
that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said
unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. {4} But
his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an
occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion
over Israel. {5} Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother,
to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared
against him. {6} And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him,
and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but
he told not his father or his mother what he had done. {7} And he went
down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well. {8} And
after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of
the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the
lion. {9} And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and
came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told
not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. {10}
So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so
used the young men to do. {11} And it came to pass, when they saw him,
that they brought thirty companions to be with him. {12} And Samson
said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare
it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you
thirty sheets and thirty change of garments: {13} But if ye cannot
declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments.
And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it. {14}
And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong
came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
{15} And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's
wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn
thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have?
is it not so? {16} And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou
dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children
of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not
told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee? {17} And
she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass
on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told
the riddle to the children of her people. {18} And the men of the city
said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than
honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not
plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle. {19} And the
Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty
men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which
expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's
house. {20} But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had
used as his friend. |  |
