SCRIPTURE

"Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well." — Judges 14:3 (ASV)

The uncircumcised Philistines Compare (1 Samuel 14:6); (1 Samuel 17:26); (1 Samuel 31:4), for a similar use of the term as one of reproach. Also (Acts 11:3).
