1 And|strong="H3212" Samson|strong="H8123" went|strong="H3212" to|strong="H3212" Gaza|strong="H5804", and|strong="H3212" saw|strong="H7200" there|strong="H8033" a|strong="H3068" harlot|strong="H2181", and|strong="H3212" went|strong="H3212" in|strong="H3212" unto|strong="H3212" her|strong="H7200".
2 And it was told the|strong="H3605" Gazites|strong="H5841", saying, Samson|strong="H8123" is|strong="H3605" come|strong="H5437" hither|strong="H2008". And|strong="H5892" they|strong="H5704" compassed|strong="H5437" him|strong="H3605" in|strong="H5892", and|strong="H5892" laid wait for|strong="H5704" him|strong="H3605" all|strong="H3605" night|strong="H3915" in|strong="H5892" the|strong="H3605" gate|strong="H8179" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H3605" city|strong="H5892", and|strong="H5892" were|strong="H5892" quiet|strong="H2790" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" night|strong="H3915", saying, Let be till|strong="H5704" morning|strong="H1242" light, then|strong="H3605" we|strong="H3068" will|strong="H5892" kill|strong="H2026" him|strong="H3605".
3 And|strong="H6965" Samson|strong="H8123" lay|strong="H7901" till|strong="H5704" midnight|strong="H2677", and|strong="H6965" arose|strong="H6965" at|strong="H5921" midnight|strong="H2677", and|strong="H6965" laid|strong="H7760" hold|strong="H6965" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H6440" doors|strong="H1817" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H6440" gate|strong="H8179" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H6440" city|strong="H5892", and|strong="H6965" the|strong="H6440" two|strong="H8147" posts|strong="H4201", and|strong="H6965" plucked|strong="H5265" them|strong="H5921" up|strong="H5927", bar|strong="H1280" and|strong="H6965" all|strong="H5704", and|strong="H6965" put|strong="H7760" them|strong="H5921" upon|strong="H5921" his|strong="H7760" shoulders|strong="H3802", and|strong="H6965" carried|strong="H5927" them|strong="H5921" up|strong="H5927" to|strong="H5704" the|strong="H6440" top|strong="H7218" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H6440" mountain|strong="H2022" that|strong="H5892" is|strong="H5892" before|strong="H6440" Hebron|strong="H2275".
4 And|strong="H8034" it|strong="H3651" came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" pass|strong="H1961" afterward, that|strong="H3651" he|strong="H3651" loved a|strong="H3068" woman|strong="H8034" in|strong="H8034" the|strong="H1961" valley|strong="H5158" of|strong="H8034" Sorek|strong="H7796", whose|strong="H8034" name|strong="H8034" was|strong="H8034" Delilah|strong="H1807".
5 And|strong="H3967" the|strong="H7200" lords|strong="H5633" of|strong="H3701" the|strong="H7200" Philistines|strong="H6430" came|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" unto|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414", and|strong="H3967" said unto|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414", Entice|strong="H6601" him|strong="H5414", and|strong="H3967" see|strong="H7200" wherein|strong="H4100" his|strong="H5414" great|strong="H1419" strength|strong="H3581" lieth, and|strong="H3967" by|strong="H5414" what|strong="H4100" means|strong="H5927" we|strong="H3068" may|strong="H3201" prevail|strong="H3201" against|strong="H5927" him|strong="H5414", that|strong="H7200" we|strong="H3068" may|strong="H3201" bind him|strong="H5414" to|strong="H3201" afflict|strong="H6031" him|strong="H5414": and|strong="H3967" we|strong="H3068" will|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" thee|strong="H5414" every|strong="H5414" one|strong="H7200" of|strong="H3701" us|strong="H5414" eleven hundred|strong="H3967" pieces of|strong="H3701" silver|strong="H3701".
6 And|strong="H1419" Delilah|strong="H1807" said to|strong="H5046" Samson|strong="H8123", Tell|strong="H5046" me|strong="H4994", I|strong="H4100" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H4994", wherein|strong="H4100" thy|strong="H5046" great|strong="H1419" strength|strong="H3581" lieth, and|strong="H1419" wherewith|strong="H4100" thou|strong="H4100" mightest be|strong="H4994" bound to|strong="H5046" afflict|strong="H6031" thee|strong="H4994".
7 And|strong="H7651" Samson|strong="H8123" said unto|strong="H2470" her|strong="H1961", If|strong="H1961" they|strong="H3808" bind me|strong="H1961" with|strong="H1961" seven|strong="H7651" green|strong="H3892" withes that|strong="H3808" were|strong="H1961" never|strong="H3808" dried|strong="H2717", then|strong="H1961" shall|strong="H3808" I|strong="H3808" become|strong="H1961" weak|strong="H2470", and|strong="H7651" be|strong="H1961" as|strong="H1961" another|strong="H3808" man.
8 Then|strong="H5927" the|strong="H5927" lords|strong="H5633" of|strong="H3499" the|strong="H5927" Philistines|strong="H6430" brought|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" to|strong="H5927" her|strong="H2717" seven|strong="H7651" green|strong="H3892" withes which had|strong="H6430" not|strong="H3808" been|strong="H3808" dried|strong="H2717", and|strong="H5927" she|strong="H3808" bound him|strong="H5927" with|strong="H5927" them|strong="H5927".
9 Now|strong="H5921" she|strong="H5921" had|strong="H6430" liers-in-wait abiding|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H5921" inner|strong="H2315" chamber|strong="H2315". And|strong="H3045" she|strong="H5921" said unto|strong="H6430" him|strong="H5921", The|strong="H5921" Philistines|strong="H6430" are|strong="H6430" upon|strong="H5921" thee, Samson|strong="H8123". And|strong="H3045" he|strong="H3808" brake|strong="H5423" the|strong="H5921" withes, as|strong="H3427" a|strong="H3068" string|strong="H6616" of|strong="H3427" tow|strong="H5296" is|strong="H3581" broken|strong="H5423" when|strong="H3427" it|strong="H5921" toucheth|strong="H7306" the|strong="H5921" fire. So|strong="H3808" his|strong="H5921" strength|strong="H3581" was|strong="H6430" not|strong="H3808" known|strong="H3045".
10 And|strong="H1696" Delilah|strong="H1807" said|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" Samson|strong="H8123", Behold|strong="H2009", thou|strong="H1696" hast mocked|strong="H2048" me|strong="H4994", and|strong="H1696" told|strong="H5046" me|strong="H4994" lies|strong="H3576": now|strong="H6258" tell|strong="H5046" me|strong="H4994", I|strong="H2009" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H4994", wherewith|strong="H4100" thou|strong="H1696" mightest be|strong="H4994" bound.
11 And|strong="H6213" he|strong="H6213" said unto|strong="H6213" her|strong="H6213", If|strong="H1961" they|strong="H3808" only bind me|strong="H6213" with|strong="H6213" new|strong="H2319" ropes|strong="H5688" wherewith no|strong="H3808" work|strong="H4399" hath been|strong="H1961" done|strong="H6213", then|strong="H1961" shall|strong="H3808" I|strong="H3808" become|strong="H1961" weak|strong="H2470", and|strong="H6213" be|strong="H1961" as|strong="H1961" another|strong="H3808" man.
12 So|strong="H3947" Delilah|strong="H1807" took|strong="H3947" new|strong="H2319" ropes|strong="H5688", and|strong="H6430" bound him|strong="H5921" therewith, and|strong="H6430" said unto|strong="H3947" him|strong="H5921", The|strong="H5921" Philistines|strong="H6430" are|strong="H6430" upon|strong="H5921" thee|strong="H3947", Samson|strong="H8123". And|strong="H6430" the|strong="H5921" liers-in-wait were|strong="H6430" abiding|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H5921" inner|strong="H2315" chamber|strong="H2315". And|strong="H6430" he|strong="H5921" brake|strong="H5423" them|strong="H5921" off|strong="H5921" his|strong="H3947" arms|strong="H2220" like|strong="H5423" a|strong="H3068" thread|strong="H2339".
13 And|strong="H7218" Delilah|strong="H1807" said|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" Samson|strong="H8123", Hitherto|strong="H5704" thou|strong="H1696" hast mocked|strong="H2048" me|strong="H5046", and|strong="H7218" told|strong="H5046" me|strong="H5046" lies|strong="H3576": tell|strong="H5046" me|strong="H5046" wherewith|strong="H4100" thou|strong="H1696" mightest be bound. And|strong="H7218" he|strong="H5704" said|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" her|strong="H5046", If thou|strong="H1696" weavest the|strong="H5704" seven|strong="H7651" locks|strong="H4253" of|strong="H7218" my|strong="H5046" head|strong="H7218" with|strong="H5973" the|strong="H5704" web|strong="H4545".
14 And|strong="H6430" she|strong="H5921" fastened|strong="H8628" it|strong="H5921" with|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" pin|strong="H3489", and|strong="H6430" said unto|strong="H6430" him|strong="H5921", The|strong="H5921" Philistines|strong="H6430" are|strong="H6430" upon|strong="H5921" thee, Samson|strong="H8123". And|strong="H6430" he|strong="H5921" awoke|strong="H3364" out|strong="H5265" of|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" sleep|strong="H8142", and|strong="H6430" plucked|strong="H5265" away|strong="H5265" the|strong="H5921" pin|strong="H3489" of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" beam, and|strong="H6430" the|strong="H5921" web|strong="H4545".
15 And|strong="H1419" she|strong="H3820" said unto|strong="H5046" him|strong="H5046", How|strong="H4100" canst thou|strong="H4100" say, I|strong="H2088" love thee|strong="H5046", when thy|strong="H5046" heart|strong="H3820" is|strong="H2088" not|strong="H3808" with|strong="H3820" me|strong="H5046"? thou|strong="H4100" hast mocked|strong="H2048" me|strong="H5046" these|strong="H2088" three|strong="H7969" times|strong="H6471", and|strong="H1419" hast not|strong="H3808" told|strong="H5046" me|strong="H5046" wherein|strong="H4100" thy|strong="H5046" great|strong="H1419" strength|strong="H3581" lieth.
16 And|strong="H3117" it|strong="H3588" came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H4191" pass|strong="H1961", when|strong="H3588" she|strong="H3588" pressed|strong="H6693" him|strong="H4191" daily|strong="H3117" with|strong="H1697" her|strong="H3605" words|strong="H1697", and|strong="H3117" urged him|strong="H4191", that|strong="H3588" his|strong="H3605" soul|strong="H5315" was|strong="H1961" vexed|strong="H7114" unto|strong="H1697" death|strong="H4191".
17 And|strong="H7218" he|strong="H3588" told|strong="H5046" her|strong="H3605" all|strong="H3605" his|strong="H3605" heart|strong="H3820", and|strong="H7218" said unto|strong="H5927" her|strong="H3605", There|strong="H1961" hath|strong="H3588" not|strong="H3808" come|strong="H5927" a|strong="H3068" razor|strong="H4177" upon|strong="H5921" my|strong="H3605" head|strong="H7218"; for|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H1961" been|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" Nazirite|strong="H5139" unto|strong="H5927" God|strong="H3808" from|strong="H4480" my|strong="H3605" mother’s womb: if|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" be|strong="H1961" shaven|strong="H1548", then|strong="H1961" my|strong="H3605" strength|strong="H3581" will|strong="H1961" go|strong="H5927" from|strong="H4480" me|strong="H5046", and|strong="H7218" I|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H3820" become|strong="H1961" weak|strong="H2470", and|strong="H7218" be|strong="H1961" like|strong="H1961" any|strong="H3605" other|strong="H3605" man|strong="H3605".
18 And|strong="H3701" when|strong="H3588" Delilah|strong="H1807" saw|strong="H7200" that|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" had|strong="H6430" told|strong="H5046" her|strong="H3605" all|strong="H3605" his|strong="H3605" heart|strong="H3820", she|strong="H3588" sent|strong="H7971" and|strong="H3701" called|strong="H7121" for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" lords|strong="H5633" of|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3605" Philistines|strong="H6430", saying, Come|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" this|strong="H7200" once|strong="H6471", for|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" hath|strong="H3027" told|strong="H5046" me|strong="H7971" all|strong="H3605" his|strong="H3605" heart|strong="H3820". Then|strong="H7971" the|strong="H3605" lords|strong="H5633" of|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3605" Philistines|strong="H6430" came|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" unto|strong="H7121" her|strong="H3605", and|strong="H3701" brought|strong="H5927" the|strong="H3605" money|strong="H3701" in|strong="H3027" their|strong="H3605" hand|strong="H3027".
19 And|strong="H7218" she|strong="H7121" made|strong="H7121" him|strong="H7121" sleep|strong="H3462" upon|strong="H5921" her|strong="H5493" knees|strong="H1290"; and|strong="H7218" she|strong="H7121" called|strong="H7121" for|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H7218", and|strong="H7218" shaved|strong="H1548" off|strong="H5493" the|strong="H5921" seven|strong="H7651" locks|strong="H4253" of|strong="H7218" his|strong="H7121" head|strong="H7218"; and|strong="H7218" she|strong="H7121" began|strong="H2490" to|strong="H5921" afflict|strong="H6031" him|strong="H7121", and|strong="H7218" his|strong="H7121" strength|strong="H3581" went|strong="H7218" from|strong="H5493" him|strong="H7121".
20 And|strong="H3068" she|strong="H1931" said|strong="H3318", The|strong="H5921" Philistines|strong="H6430" are|strong="H3068" upon|strong="H5921" thee, Samson|strong="H8123". And|strong="H3068" he|strong="H1931" awoke|strong="H3364" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3068" sleep|strong="H8142", and|strong="H3068" said|strong="H3318", I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" go|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" as|strong="H3068" at|strong="H5921" other|strong="H6471" times|strong="H6471", and|strong="H3068" shake|strong="H5287" myself|strong="H3045" free|strong="H3318". But|strong="H3588" he|strong="H1931" knew|strong="H3045" not|strong="H3808" that|strong="H3588" Jehovah|strong="H3068" was|strong="H3068" departed|strong="H5493" from|strong="H5493" him|strong="H5921".
21 And|strong="H1004" the|strong="H1961" Philistines|strong="H6430" laid hold|strong="H1004" on|strong="H1961" him|strong="H3381", and|strong="H1004" put|strong="H3381" out|strong="H5365" his|strong="H1961" eyes|strong="H5869"; and|strong="H1004" they|strong="H5178" brought|strong="H3381" him|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381" to|strong="H3381" Gaza|strong="H5804", and|strong="H1004" bound him|strong="H3381" with|strong="H1004" fetters|strong="H5178" of|strong="H1004" brass|strong="H5178"; and|strong="H1004" he|strong="H1004" did|strong="H5869" grind|strong="H2912" in|strong="H1004" the|strong="H1961" prison|strong="H1004" house|strong="H1004".
22 Howbeit the|strong="H2490" hair|strong="H8181" of|strong="H7218" his|strong="H1548" head|strong="H7218" began|strong="H2490" to|strong="H2490" grow|strong="H6779" again|strong="H6779" after|strong="H6779" he was|strong="H7218" shaven|strong="H1548".
23 And|strong="H1419" the|strong="H5414" lords|strong="H5633" of|strong="H3027" the|strong="H5414" Philistines|strong="H6430" gathered|strong="H6430" them|strong="H5414" together to|strong="H5414" offer|strong="H2076" a|strong="H3068" great|strong="H1419" sacrifice|strong="H2077" unto|strong="H5414" Dagon|strong="H1712" their|strong="H5414" god|strong="H5414", and|strong="H1419" to|strong="H5414" rejoice|strong="H8057"; for|strong="H3027" they|strong="H3027" said, Our|strong="H5414" god|strong="H5414" hath|strong="H3027" delivered|strong="H5414" Samson|strong="H8123" our|strong="H5414" enemy into|strong="H3027" our|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027".
24 And|strong="H3027" when|strong="H3588" the|strong="H7200" people|strong="H5971" saw|strong="H7200" him|strong="H5414", they|strong="H3588" praised|strong="H1984" their|strong="H5414" god|strong="H5414"; for|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" said, Our|strong="H5414" god|strong="H5414" hath|strong="H3027" delivered|strong="H5414" into|strong="H3027" our|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027" our|strong="H5414" enemy, and|strong="H3027" the|strong="H7200" destroyer|strong="H2717" of|strong="H3027" our|strong="H5414" country, who|strong="H5971" hath|strong="H3027" slain|strong="H2491" many|strong="H7235" of|strong="H3027" us|strong="H5414".
