Richter 14:3
3
Sein Vater und sein Mutter sprachen zu ihm: Ist denn nun kein Weib unter den Töchtern deiner Brüder und in allem deinem Volk, daß du hingehst und nimmst ein Weib bei den Philistern, die unbeschnitten sind? Simson sprach zu seinem Vater: Gib mir diese; denn sie gefällt meinen Augen.
Arcana Coelestia # 4501

This is clear from the representation of 'Hamor' as the Church among the Ancients as regards good, dealt with in 4447; from the representation of 'Shechem' as the Church among the Ancients as regards truth, dealt with in 4454, 4472, 4473, and from the meaning of 'with the edge of the sword' as falsity and evil engaged in conflict, dealt with in 4499, and so by means of which they annihilated the Church among themselves.
