1

Then went [3212] Samson [8123] to Gaza, [5804] and saw [7200] there an harlot, [0802] [2181] and went in [0935] unto her.

2

[And it was told] the Gazites, [5841] saying, [0559] Samson [8123] is come [0935] hither. And they compassed [him] in, [5437] and laid wait [0693] for him all night [3915] in the gate [8179] of the city, [5892] and were quiet [2790] all the night, [3915] saying, [0559] In the morning, [1242] when it is day, [0216] we shall kill [2026] him.

3

And Samson [8123] lay [7901] till midnight, [2677] [3915] and arose [6965] at midnight, [2677] [3915] and took [0270] the doors [1817] of the gate [8179] of the city, [5892] and the two [8147] posts, [4201] and went away [5265] with them, bar [1280] and all, and put [7760] [them] upon his shoulders, [3802] and carried them up [5927] to the top [7218] of an hill [2022] that [is] before [6440] Hebron. [2275]

4

And it came to pass afterward, [0310] that he loved [0157] a woman [0802] in the valley [5158] of Sorek, [7796] whose name [8034] [was] Delilah. [1807]

5

And the lords [5633] of the Philistines [6430] came up [5927] unto her, and said [0559] unto her, Entice [6601] him, and see [7200] wherein his great [1419] strength [3581] [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail [3201] against him, that we may bind [0631] him to afflict [6031] him: and we will give [5414] thee every one [0376] of us eleven hundred [0505] [3967] [pieces] of silver. [3701]

6

And Delilah [1807] said [0559] to Samson, [8123] Tell [5046] me, I pray thee, wherein thy great [1419] strength [3581] [lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound [0631] to afflict [6031] thee.

7

And Samson [8123] said [0559] unto her, If they bind [0631] me with seven [7651] green [3892] withs [3499] that were never dried, [2717] then shall I be weak, [2470] and be as another [0259] man. [0120]

8

Then the lords [5633] of the Philistines [6430] brought up [5927] to her seven [7651] green [3892] withs [3499] which had not been dried, [2717] and she bound [0631] him with them.

9

Now [there were] men lying in wait, [0693] abiding [3427] with her in the chamber. [2315] And she said [0559] unto him, The Philistines [6430] [be] upon thee, Samson. [8123] And he brake [5423] the withs, [3499] as a thread [6616] of tow [5296] is broken [5423] when it toucheth [7306] the fire. [0784] So his strength [3581] was not known. [3045]

10

And Delilah [1807] said [0559] unto Samson, [8123] Behold, thou hast mocked [2048] me, and told [1696] me lies: [3577] now tell [5046] me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound. [0631]

11

And he said [0559] unto her, If they bind [0631] me fast [0631] with new [2319] ropes [5688] that never were occupied, [4399] [6213] then shall I be weak, [2470] and be as another [0259] man. [0120]

12

Delilah [1807] therefore took [3947] new [2319] ropes, [5688] and bound [0631] him therewith, and said [0559] unto him, The Philistines [6430] [be] upon thee, Samson. [8123] And [there were] liers in wait [0693] abiding [3427] in the chamber. [2315] And he brake [5423] them from off his arms [2220] like a thread. [2339]

13

And Delilah [1807] said [0559] unto Samson, [8123] Hitherto [2008] thou hast mocked [2048] me, and told [1696] me lies: [3577] tell [5046] me wherewith thou mightest be bound. [0631] And he said [0559] unto her, If thou weavest [0707] the seven [7651] locks [4253] of my head [7218] with the web. [4545]

14

And she fastened [8628] [it] with the pin, [3489] and said [0559] unto him, The Philistines [6430] [be] upon thee, Samson. [8123] And he awaked [3364] out of his sleep, [8142] and went away [5265] with the pin [3489] of the beam, [0708] and with the web. [4545]

15

And she said [0559] unto him, How [0349] canst thou say, [0559] I love [0157] thee, when thine heart [3820] [is] not with me? thou hast mocked [2048] me these three [7969] times, [6471] and hast not told [5046] me wherein thy great [1419] strength [3581] [lieth].

16

And it came to pass, when she pressed [6693] him daily [3117] with her words, [1697] and urged [0509] him, [so] that his soul [5315] was vexed [7114] unto death; [4191]

17

That he told [5046] her all his heart, [3820] and said [0559] unto her, There hath not come [5927] a razor [4177] upon mine head; [7218] for I [have been] a Nazarite [5139] unto God [0430] from my mother's [0517] womb: [0990] if I be shaven, [1548] then my strength [3581] will go [5493] from me, and I shall become weak, [2470] and be like any [other] man. [0120]

18

And when Delilah [1807] saw [7200] that he had told [5046] her all his heart, [3820] she sent [7971] and called [7121] for the lords [5633] of the Philistines, [6430] saying, [0559] Come up [5927] this once, [6471] for he hath shewed [5046] me all his heart. [3820] Then the lords [5633] of the Philistines [6430] came up [5927] unto her, and brought [5927] money [3701] in their hand. [3027]

19

And she made him sleep [3462] upon her knees; [1290] and she called [7121] for a man, [0376] and she caused him to shave off [1548] the seven [7651] locks [4253] of his head; [7218] and she began [2490] to afflict [6031] him, and his strength [3581] went [5493] from him.

20

And she said, [0559] The Philistines [6430] [be] upon thee, Samson. [8123] And he awoke [3364] out of his sleep, [8142] and said, [0559] I will go out [3318] as at other times [6471] [6471] before, and shake [5287] myself. And he wist [3045] not that the LORD [3068] was departed [5493] from him.

21

But the Philistines [6430] took [0270] him, and put out [5365] his eyes, [5869] and brought him down [3381] to Gaza, [5804] and bound [0631] him with fetters of brass; [5178] and he did grind [2912] in the prison [0631] house. [1004]

22

Howbeit the hair [8181] of his head [7218] began [2490] to grow [6779] again after [0834] he was shaven. [1548]

23

Then the lords [5633] of the Philistines [6430] gathered [0622] them together for to offer [2076] a great [1419] sacrifice [2077] unto Dagon [1712] their god, [0430] and to rejoice: [8057] for they said, [0559] Our god [0430] hath delivered [5414] Samson [8123] our enemy [0341] into our hand. [3027]

24

And when the people [5971] saw [7200] him, they praised [1984] their god: [0430] for they said, [0559] Our god [0430] hath delivered [5414] into our hands [3027] our enemy, [0341] and the destroyer [2717] of our country, [0776] which slew [2491] many [7235] of us.

25

And it came to pass, when their hearts [3820] were merry, [2896] that they said, [0559] Call [7121] for Samson, [8123] that he may make us sport. [7832] And they called [7121] for Samson [8123] out of the prison [0631] house; [1004] and he made them [6440] sport: [6711] and they set [5975] him between the pillars. [5982]

26

And Samson [8123] said [0559] unto the lad [5288] that held [2388] him by the hand, [3027] Suffer [3240] me that I may feel [4184] the pillars [5982] whereupon the house [1004] standeth, [3559] that I may lean [8172] upon them.

27

Now the house [1004] was full [4390] of men [0582] and women; [0802] and all the lords [5633] of the Philistines [6430] [were] there; and [there were] upon the roof [1406] about three [7969] thousand [0505] men [0376] and women, [0802] that beheld [7200] while Samson [8123] made sport. [7832]

28

And Samson [8123] called [7121] unto the LORD, [3068] and said, [0559] O Lord [0136] GOD, [3069] remember [2142] me, I pray thee, and strengthen [2388] me, I pray thee, only this once, [6471] O God, [0430] that I may be at once [0259] avenged [5358] [5359] of the Philistines [6430] for my two [8147] eyes. [5869]

29

And Samson [8123] took hold [3943] of the two [8147] middle [8432] pillars [5982] upon which the house [1004] stood, [3559] and on which it was borne up, [5564] of the one [0259] with his right hand, [3225] and of the other [0259] with his left. [8040]

30

And Samson [8123] said, [0559] Let me [5315] die [4191] with the Philistines. [6430] And he bowed [5186] himself with [all his] might; [3581] and the house [1004] fell [5307] upon the lords, [5633] and upon all the people [5971] that [were] therein. So the dead [4191] which he slew [4191] at his death [4194] were more [7227] than [they] which he slew [4191] in his life. [2416]

31

Then his brethren [0251] and all the house [1004] of his father [0001] came down, [3381] and took [5375] him, and brought [him] up, [5927] and buried [6912] him between Zorah [6881] and Eshtaol [0847] in the buryingplace [6913] of Manoah [4495] his father. [0001] And he judged [8199] Israel [3478] twenty [6242] years. [8141]
