Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah,
and he came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion roared
against him; and the spirit of Yahweh came upon him powerfully, and he tore
the lion apart as one tears a goat-kid. And he had nothing in his hand.
(Judges 14:5-6)
In life and in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions. (2 Samuel 1:23) |
