Judges 15:2 KJV
And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.

- thou, thy, thee one person
In the King James Bible, thee, thou, thy, and thine always mean one person, and ye, you, and your more than one: a difference modern English lost. Why keep these words?
Matthew Henry
- Samson is denied his wife, He smites the PhilistinesWhen there are differences between relations, let those be reckoned the wisest and best, who are most forward to forgive or forget, and most willing to stoop...
