    He said to them,
    “If you hadn’t plowed with my heifer,
    you wouldn’t have found out my riddle.”
  2. 19Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house.
  3. 20But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
