וַיִּרְבּוּ הַיָּמִים וַתָּמָת בַּת-שׁוּעַ אֵֽשֶׁת-יְהוּדָה וַיִּנָּחֶם יְהוּדָה וַיַּעַל עַל-גֹּֽזֲזֵי צֹאנוֹ הוּא וְחִירָה רֵעֵהוּ הָֽעֲדֻלָּמִי תִּמְנָֽתָה׃
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
וַיֵּרֶד שִׁמְשׁוֹן תִּמְנָתָה וַיַּרְא אִשָּׁה בְּתִמְנָתָה מִבְּנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
וַֽיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים עֶקְרוֹן וַיְהִי כְּבוֹא אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים עֶקְרוֹן וַיִּזְעֲקוּ הָֽעֶקְרֹנִים לֵאמֹר הֵסַבּוּ אֵלַי אֶת-אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽהֲמִיתֵנִי וְאֶת-עַמִּֽי׃
Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
וְהִכְרַתִּי יוֹשֵׁב מֵֽאַשְׁדּוֹד וְתוֹמֵךְ שֵׁבֶט מֵֽאַשְׁקְלוֹן וַהֲשִׁיבוֹתִי יָדִי עַל-עֶקְרוֹן וְאָֽבְדוּ שְׁאֵרִית פְּלִשְׁתִּים אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה׃
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
