[1]Then wentH3212[H8799] SamsonH8123 to GazaH5804, and sawH7200[H8799] there an harlotH802[H2181][H8802], and went inH935 unto herH8799. [No book]
[2]And it was told the GazitesH5841, sayingH559[H8800], SamsonH8123 is comeH935[H8804] hither. And they compassed him inH5437[H8799], and laid waitH693[H8799] for him all nightH3915 in the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and were quietH2790[H8691] all the nightH3915, sayingH559[H8800], In the morningH1242, when it is dayH216, we shall killH2026 himH8804. [No book]
[3]And SamsonH8123 layH7901[H8799] till midnightH2677[H3915], and aroseH6965[H8799] at midnightH2677[H3915], and tookH270[H8799] the doorsH1817 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and the twoH8147 postsH4201, and went awayH5265[H8799] with them, barH1280 and all, and putH7760[H8799] them upon his shouldersH3802, and carried them upH5927[H8686] to the topH7218 of an hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 HebronH2275. [No book]
[4]And it came to pass afterwardH310, that he lovedH157[H8799] a womanH802 in the valleyH5158 of SorekH7796, whose nameH8034 was DelilahH1807. [No book]
[5]And the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927[H8799] unto her, and saidH559[H8799] unto her, EnticeH6601[H8761] him, and seeH7200[H8798] wherein his greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth, and by what means we may prevailH3201[H8799] against him, that we may bindH631[H8804] him to afflictH6031[H8763] him: and we will giveH5414[H8799] thee every oneH376 of us eleven hundredH505[H3967] pieces of silverH3701. [No book]
[6]And DelilahH1807 saidH559[H8799] to SamsonH8123, TellH5046[H8685] me, I pray thee, wherein thy greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be boundH631[H8735] to afflictH6031 theeH8763. [No book]
[7]And SamsonH8123 saidH559[H8799] unto her, If they bindH631[H8799] me with sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 that were never driedH2717[H8795], then shall I be weakH2470[H8804], and be as anotherH259 manH120. [No book]
[8]Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 brought upH5927[H8686] to her sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 which had not been driedH2717[H8795], and she boundH631 him with themH8799. [No book]
[9]Now there were men lying in waitH693[H8802], abidingH3427[H8802] with her in the chamberH2315. And she saidH559[H8799] unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he brakeH5423[H8762] the withsH3499, as a threadH6616 of towH5296 is brokenH5423[H8735] when it touchethH7306[H8687] the fireH784. So his strengthH3581 was not knownH3045.[H8738] [No book]
[10]And DelilahH1807 saidH559[H8799] unto SamsonH8123, Behold, thou hast mockedH2048[H8765] me, and toldH1696[H8762] me liesH3577: now tellH5046[H8685] me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be boundH631.[H8735] [No book]
[11]And he saidH559[H8799] unto her, If they bindH631[H8799] me fastH631[H8800] with newH2319 ropesH5688 that never were occupiedH4399[H6213][H8738], then shall I be weakH2470[H8804], and be as anotherH259 manH120. [No book]
[12]DelilahH1807 therefore tookH3947[H8799] newH2319 ropesH5688, and boundH631[H8799] him therewith, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And there were liers in waitH693[H8802] abidingH3427[H8802] in the chamberH2315. And he brakeH5423[H8762] them from off his armsH2220 like a threadH2339. [No book]
[13]And DelilahH1807 saidH559[H8799] unto SamsonH8123, HithertoH2008 thou hast mockedH2048[H8765] me, and toldH1696[H8762] me liesH3577: tellH5046[H8685] me wherewith thou mightest be boundH631[H8735]. And he saidH559[H8799] unto her, If thou weavestH707[H8799] the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of my headH7218 with the webH4545. [No book]
[14]And she fastenedH8628[H8799] it with the pinH3489, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awakedH3364[H8799] out of his sleepH8142, and went awayH5265[H8799] with the pinH3489 of the beamH708, and with the webH4545. [No book]
[15]And she saidH559[H8799] unto him, HowH349 canst thou sayH559[H8799], I loveH157[H8804] thee, when thine heartH3820 is not with me? thou hast mockedH2048[H8765] me these threeH7969 timesH6471, and hast not toldH5046[H8689] me wherein thy greatH1419 strength liethH3581. [No book]
[16]And it came to pass, when she pressedH6693[H8689] him dailyH3117 with her wordsH1697, and urgedH509[H8762] him, so that his soulH5315 was vexedH7114[H8799] H4191unto deathH8800 [No book]
[17]That he toldH5046[H8686] her all his heartH3820, and saidH559[H8799] unto her, There hath not comeH5927[H8804] a razorH4177 upon mine headH7218; for I have been a NazariteH5139 unto GodH430 from my mother'sH517 wombH990: if I be shavenH1548[H8795], then my strengthH3581 will goH5493[H8804] from me, and I shall become weakH2470[H8804], and be like any other manH120. [No book]
[18]And when DelilahH1807 sawH7200[H8799] that he had toldH5046[H8689] her all his heartH3820, she sentH7971[H8799] and calledH7121[H8799] for the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, sayingH559[H8800], Come upH5927[H8798] this onceH6471, for he hath shewedH5046[H8689] me all his heartH3820. Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927[H8804] unto her, and broughtH5927[H8686] moneyH3701 in their handH3027. [No book]
[19]And she made him sleepH3462[H8762] upon her kneesH1290; and she calledH7121[H8799] for a manH376, and she caused him to shave offH1548[H8762] the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of his headH7218; and she beganH2490[H8686] to afflictH6031[H8763] him, and his strengthH3581 wentH5493 from himH8799. [No book]
[20]And she saidH559[H8799], The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awokeH3364[H8799] out of his sleepH8142, and saidH559[H8799], I will go outH3318[H8799] as at other times beforeH6471, and shakeH5287[H8735] myself. And he wistH3045[H8804] not that the LORDH3068 was departedH5493 from himH8804. [No book]
[21]But the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270[H8799] him, and put outH5365[H8762] his eyesH5869, and brought him downH3381[H8686] to GazaH5804, and boundH631[H8799] him with fetters of brassH5178; and he did grindH2912[H8802] in the prisonH631[H8803] houseH1004. [No book]
[22]Howbeit the hairH8181 of his headH7218 beganH2490[H8686] to grow againH6779[H8763] afterH834 he was shavenH1548.[H8795] [No book]
[23]Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 gathered them togetherH622[H8738] for to offerH2076[H8800] a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 unto DagonH1712 their godH430, and to rejoiceH8057: for they saidH559[H8799], Our godH430 hath deliveredH5414[H8804] SamsonH8123 our enemyH341[H8802] into our handH3027. [No book]
[24]And when the peopleH5971 sawH7200[H8799] him, they praisedH1984[H8762] their godH430: for they saidH559[H8804], Our godH430 hath deliveredH5414[H8804] into our handsH3027 our enemyH341[H8802], and the destroyerH2717[H8688] of our countryH776, which slewH2491 manyH7235 of usH8689. [No book]
[25]And it came to pass, when their heartsH3820 were merryH2896, that they saidH559[H8799], CallH7121[H8798] for SamsonH8123, that he may make us sportH7832[H8762]. And they calledH7121[H8799] for SamsonH8123 out of the prisonH631[H8803] houseH1004; and he made themH6440 sportH6711[H8762]: and they setH5975[H8686] him between the pillarsH5982. [No book]
[26]And SamsonH8123 saidH559[H8799] unto the ladH5288 that heldH2388[H8688] him by the handH3027, SufferH3240[H8685] me that I may feelH4184[H8685][H8675][H3237][H8685] the pillarsH5982 whereupon the houseH1004 standethH3559[H8737], that I may leanH8172 upon themH8735. [No book]
[27]Now the houseH1004 was fullH4390[H8804] of menH582 and womenH802; and all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 were there; and there were upon the roofH1406 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802, that beheldH7200[H8802] while SamsonH8123 made sportH7832.[H8800] [No book]
[28]And SamsonH8123 calledH7121[H8799] unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559[H8799], O LordH136 GODH3069, rememberH2142[H8798] me, I pray thee, and strengthenH2388[H8761] me, I pray thee, only this onceH6471, O GodH430, that I may be at onceH259 avengedH5358[H8735][H5359] of the PhilistinesH6430 for my twoH8147 eyesH5869. [No book]
[29]And SamsonH8123 took holdH3943[H8799] of the twoH8147 middleH8432 pillarsH5982 upon which the houseH1004 stoodH3559[H8737], and on which it was borne upH5564[H8735], of the oneH259 with his right handH3225, and of the otherH259 with his leftH8040. [No book]
[30]And SamsonH8123 saidH559[H8799], Let me dieH4191[H8799][H5315] with the PhilistinesH6430. And he bowedH5186[H8799] himself with all his mightH3581; and the houseH1004 fellH5307[H8799] upon the lordsH5633, and upon all the peopleH5971 that were therein. So the deadH4191[H8801] which he slewH4191[H8689] at his deathH4194 were moreH7227 than they which he slewH4191[H8689] in his lifeH2416. [No book]
[31]Then his brethrenH251 and all the houseH1004 of his fatherH1 came downH3381[H8799], and tookH5375[H8799] him, and brought him upH5927[H8799], and buriedH6912[H8799] him between ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847 in the buryingplaceH6913 of ManoahH4495 his fatherH1. And he judgedH8199[H8804] IsraelH3478 twentyH6242 yearsH8141. [No book]
