00:51:28.690 --> 00:51:33.469

00:51:38.409 --> 00:51:42.929
His<00:51:38.769><c> parents</c><00:51:39.150><c> pleading,</c><00:51:41.190><c> in</c><00:51:41.429><c> verse</c><00:51:41.690><c> 5,</c>

And<00:51:44.110><c> Sampson</c><00:51:44.630><c> went</c><00:51:44.989><c> down.</c>

00:51:46.190 --> 00:51:49.349
That's<00:51:46.710><c> how</c><00:51:46.949><c> much</c><00:51:47.170><c> notice</c><00:51:47.449><c> he</c><00:51:47.610><c> took</c><00:51:47.889><c> of</c><00:51:48.090><c> his</c><00:51:48.309><c> parents.</c>

00:51:50.869 --> 00:51:57.150
He<00:51:50.949><c> went</c><00:51:51.190><c> down,</c><00:51:53.190><c> and</c><00:51:53.250><c> his</c><00:51:53.510><c> father</c><00:51:53.750><c> and</c><00:51:53.989><c> mother</c><00:51:54.590><c> went</c><00:51:55.170><c> to</c><00:51:56.230><c> Timnath.</c>

00:51:57.429 --> 00:51:59.590
Sorry,<00:51:58.090><c> let's</c><00:51:58.329><c> read</c><00:51:58.510><c> that</c><00:51:58.670><c> again.</c>

00:51:59.909 --> 00:52:02.610
Then<00:52:00.150><c> went</c><00:52:00.369><c> Sampson</c><00:52:00.750><c> down,</c><00:52:01.010><c> and</c><00:52:01.150><c> his</c><00:52:01.369><c> father</c><00:52:01.590><c> and</c><00:52:01.730><c> mother,</c>

00:52:05.969 --> 00:52:09.010
and<00:52:06.070><c> behold</c><00:52:06.349><c> a</c><00:52:06.510><c> young</c><00:52:06.730><c> lion</c><00:52:06.949><c> roared</c><00:52:07.230><c> against</c><00:52:07.590><c> him,</c>

00:52:09.469 --> 00:52:12.530
and<00:52:09.610><c> the</c><00:52:09.789><c> spirit</c><00:52:09.949><c> of</c><00:52:10.190><c> Yahweh</c><00:52:10.530><c> came</c><00:52:10.889><c> mightily</c><00:52:11.369><c> upon</c><00:52:11.590><c> him.</c>

00:52:12.530 --> 00:52:15.969
And<00:52:13.230><c> he</c><00:52:13.389><c> rent</c><00:52:13.570><c> him</c><00:52:13.710><c> as</c><00:52:13.809><c> he</c><00:52:13.929><c> would</c><00:52:14.030><c> have</c><00:52:14.150><c> a</c><00:52:14.349><c> kid,</c><00:52:15.070><c> and</c><00:52:15.070><c> he</c><00:52:15.289><c> had</c><00:52:15.449><c> nothing</c><00:52:15.750><c> in</c>

00:52:15.969 --> 00:52:17.050
his<00:52:16.170><c> hand,</c>

00:52:17.190 --> 00:52:20.630
but<00:52:17.449><c> he</c><00:52:17.650><c> told</c><00:52:17.769><c> not</c><00:52:17.949><c> his</c><00:52:18.409><c> father</c><00:52:18.769><c> or</c><00:52:19.070><c> his</c><00:52:19.309><c> mother</c><00:52:19.489><c> what</c><00:52:19.630><c> he'd</c><00:52:19.829><c> done.</c>

00:52:20.650 --> 00:52:22.730
So<00:52:20.809><c> it's</c><00:52:20.949><c> evident</c><00:52:21.170><c> that</c><00:52:21.309><c> they</c><00:52:21.510><c> weren't</c><00:52:21.670><c> with</c><00:52:21.889><c> him</c><00:52:22.010><c> when</c><00:52:22.110><c> that</c><00:52:22.409><c> happened,</c>

00:52:23.090 --> 00:52:25.829
and<00:52:23.329><c> it's</c><00:52:24.030><c> intriguing</c><00:52:24.489><c> that</c><00:52:24.769><c> the</c><00:52:25.030><c> spirit</c><00:52:25.190><c> of</c><00:52:25.409><c> Yahweh</c><00:52:25.610><c> should</c>

00:52:25.829 --> 00:52:26.610
come<00:52:26.110><c> upon</c><00:52:26.409><c> him</c>

00:52:26.610 --> 00:52:29.510
when<00:52:26.730><c> he's</c><00:52:27.010><c> going</c><00:52:27.269><c> down</c><00:52:27.550><c> to</c><00:52:27.769><c> Timnath</c><00:52:28.650><c> to</c><00:52:28.809><c> see</c><00:52:29.010><c> this</c><00:52:29.250><c> woman.</c>

00:52:29.869 --> 00:52:32.389
Why,<00:52:30.349><c> when</c><00:52:30.590><c> he</c><00:52:30.789><c> is</c><00:52:30.949><c> going</c><00:52:31.190><c> down</c><00:52:31.489><c> there,</c><00:52:31.710><c> did</c><00:52:31.789><c> the</c><00:52:31.949><c> spirit</c><00:52:32.230><c> of</c>

00:52:32.389 --> 00:52:32.889
Yahweh<00:52:32.630><c> come?</c>

00:52:33.050 --> 00:52:34.889
And<00:52:33.269><c> why</c><00:52:33.449><c> did</c><00:52:33.550><c> his</c><00:52:33.769><c> mother</c><00:52:33.929><c> and</c><00:52:34.050><c> father</c><00:52:34.289><c> go</c><00:52:34.489><c> down</c><00:52:34.670><c> there</c><00:52:34.769><c> in</c>

00:52:34.889 --> 00:52:35.389
the<00:52:34.989><c> first</c><00:52:35.210><c> place?</c>

00:52:35.590 --> 00:52:38.530
And<00:52:35.789><c> what's</c><00:52:36.070><c> he</c><00:52:36.349><c> doing</c><00:52:36.590><c> in</c><00:52:36.849><c> a</c><00:52:36.989><c> vineyard</c><00:52:37.389><c> of</c><00:52:37.630><c> all</c><00:52:37.929><c> places?</c>

00:52:38.949 --> 00:52:41.769
His<00:52:39.210><c> mother</c><00:52:39.429><c> was</c><00:52:39.710><c> evidently</c><00:52:40.230><c> not</c><00:52:40.429><c> in</c><00:52:40.610><c> a</c><00:52:40.710><c> vineyard.</c>

00:52:42.530 --> 00:52:47.269
But<00:52:42.849><c> we're</c><00:52:43.190><c> told</c><00:52:43.510><c> in</c><00:52:43.650><c> that</c><00:52:44.550><c> story</c><00:52:44.889><c> there</c><00:52:45.210><c> that</c><00:52:45.610><c> he</c><00:52:45.690><c> had</c><00:52:46.010><c> nothing</c><00:52:46.409><c> in</c><00:52:46.690><c> his</c><00:52:47.010><c> hand,</c>

00:52:47.369 --> 00:52:50.889
and<00:52:47.429><c> he</c><00:52:47.610><c> just</c><00:52:48.050><c> rent</c><00:52:48.269><c> the</c><00:52:48.570><c> lion</c><00:52:48.750><c> apart</c><00:52:49.389><c> because</c><00:52:50.090><c> the</c><00:52:50.429><c> spirit</c><00:52:50.630><c> of</c>

00:52:50.889 --> 00:52:51.730
Yahweh<00:52:51.130><c> came</c><00:52:51.389><c> upon</c><00:52:51.530><c> him.</c>

00:52:51.889 --> 00:52:54.170
And<00:52:52.010><c> when</c><00:52:52.110><c> he</c><00:52:52.630><c> must</c><00:52:52.889><c> have</c><00:52:53.030><c> looked</c><00:52:53.250><c> at</c><00:52:53.409><c> that</c><00:52:53.630><c> lion</c><00:52:53.789><c> after</c><00:52:54.050><c> it</c>

00:52:54.170 --> 00:52:54.889
was<00:52:54.309><c> all</c><00:52:54.590><c> over,</c>

00:52:55.110 --> 00:52:57.769
he<00:52:55.210><c> must</c><00:52:55.449><c> have</c><00:52:55.590><c> been</c><00:52:55.909><c> absolutely</c><00:52:56.849><c> staggered.</c>

00:52:57.889 --> 00:52:59.630
It<00:52:58.170><c> wasn't</c><00:52:58.510><c> in</c><00:52:58.769><c> his</c><00:52:59.050><c> strength.</c>

00:53:00.050 --> 00:53:02.210
He<00:53:00.210><c> wasn't</c><00:53:00.449><c> such</c><00:53:00.690><c> a</c><00:53:00.929><c> powerful</c><00:53:01.190><c> man</c><00:53:01.409><c> that</c><00:53:01.530><c> he</c><00:53:01.590><c> could</c><00:53:01.690><c> just</c><00:53:02.070><c> get</c>

00:53:02.210 --> 00:53:02.590

00:53:05.010 --> 00:53:07.809
The<00:53:05.349><c> spirit</c><00:53:05.670><c> of</c><00:53:05.909><c> Yahweh</c><00:53:06.170><c> came</c><00:53:06.389><c> upon</c><00:53:06.650><c> him,</c><00:53:06.989><c> and</c><00:53:07.210><c> he</c><00:53:07.389><c> must</c><00:53:07.610><c> have</c>

00:53:07.809 --> 00:53:08.329
known<00:53:07.989><c> that.</c>

00:53:08.329 --> 00:53:13.570
In<00:53:08.789><c> fact,</c><00:53:09.030><c> he</c><00:53:09.210><c> did</c><00:53:09.530><c> know</c><00:53:09.710><c> it,</c><00:53:10.989><c> and</c><00:53:11.210><c> it</c><00:53:11.530><c> played</c><00:53:11.809><c> on</c><00:53:11.969><c> his</c><00:53:12.250><c> conscience.</c>

00:53:14.210 --> 00:53:15.869
Now,<00:53:14.289><c> what</c><00:53:14.449><c> God</c><00:53:14.650><c> was</c><00:53:14.869><c> saying</c><00:53:15.230><c> to</c><00:53:15.489><c> him,</c>

00:53:28.429 --> 00:53:32.829
The<00:53:28.909><c> spirit</c><00:53:29.510><c> which</c><00:53:29.969><c> comes</c><00:53:30.269><c> from</c><00:53:30.530><c> me,</c><00:53:30.969><c> said</c><00:53:31.130><c> God,</c><00:53:31.590><c> is</c><00:53:31.829><c> going</c><00:53:32.170><c> to</c>
