II. His conquest of a lion, and the prize he found in the carcase of it, <a class="bibleref" title="Judg.14.5,Judg.14.6,Judg.14.8,Judg.14.9" href="/passage/?search=Judg.14.5,Judg.14.6,Judg.14.8,Judg.14.9"><span class="bibleref" title="Judg.14.5">Jdg. 14:5</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Judg.14.6">6</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Judg.14.8">8</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Judg.14.9">9</span></a>.

IV. The occasion this gave him to kill thirty of the Philistines (<a class="bibleref" title="Judg.14.19" href="/passage/?search=Judg.14.19">Jdg. 14:19</a>) and to break off his new alliance, <a class="bibleref" title="Judg.14.20" href="/passage/?search=Judg.14.20">Jdg. 14:20</a>.</p>
