Exegesis
The narrative begins with vatitslach {וַתִּצְלַ֨ח | va-tits-lakh}, using the vav consecutive with the hitpael imperfect to signal sudden divine action.
In context — Judges 14:6
And the Spirit of the LORD seized him, and he tore him apart as one might tear a young goat ; he had nothing in his hand, and he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
