New Century Version

Judges 15:1-3 New Century Version (NCV)

1. At the time of the wheat harvest, Samson went to visit his wife, taking a young goat with him. He said, “I’m going to my wife’s room,” but her father would not let him go in.

2. He said to Samson, “I thought you really hated your wife, so I gave her to your best man. Her younger sister is more beautiful. Take her instead.”

3. But Samson said to them, “This time no one will blame me for hurting you Philistines!”
