Samson’s 1st Wife

She is never named. Her story is in Judges 14-15:6.
Some of the hi-lights:
Judges 14:1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
Judges 14:3 … And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
Judges 14:15-6 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, … And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: …. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
Judges 14:20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
