Judges 16:1-22

Then went
<03212> (8799)

Samson
<08123>

to Gaza
<05804>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

there an harlot
<0802> <02181> (8802)_,

and went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her. {harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}

[And it was told] the Gazites
<05841>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Samson
<08123>

is come
<0935> (8804)

hither. And they compassed [him] in
<05437> (8799)_,

and laid wait
<0693> (8799)

for him all night
<03915>

in the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_,

and were quiet
<02790> (8691)

all the night
<03915>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

In the morning
<01242>_,

when it is day
<0216>_,

we shall kill
<02026> (8804)

him. {quiet: Heb. silence}

And Samson
<08123>

lay
<07901> (8799)

till midnight
<02677> <03915>_,

and arose
<06965> (8799)

at midnight
<02677> <03915>_,

and took
<0270> (8799)

the doors
<01817>

of the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_,

and the two
<08147>

posts
<04201>_,

and went away
<05265> (8799)

with them, bar
<01280>

and all, and put
<07760> (8799)

[them] upon his shoulders
<03802>_,

and carried them up
<05927> (8686)

to the top
<07218>

of an hill
<02022>

that [is] before
<06440>

Hebron
<02275>_.

{bar...: Heb. with the bar}

And it came to pass afterward
<0310>_,

that he loved
<0157> (8799)

a woman
<0802>

in the valley
<05158>

of Sorek
<07796>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Delilah
<01807>_.

{in...: or, by the brook}

And the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

came up
<05927> (8799)

unto her, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Entice
<06601> (8761)

him, and see
<07200> (8798)

wherein his great
<01419>

strength
<03581>

[lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, that we may bind
<0631> (8804)

him to afflict
<06031> (8763)

him: and we will give
<05414> (8799)

thee every one
<0376>

of us eleven hundred
<0505> <03967>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.

{afflict: or, humble}

And Delilah
<01807>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Samson
<08123>_,

Tell
<05046> (8685)

me, I pray thee, wherein thy great
<01419>

strength
<03581>

[lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound
<0631> (8735)

to afflict
<06031> (8763)

thee.

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, If they bind
<0631> (8799)

me with seven
<07651>

green
<03892>

withs
<03499>

that were never dried
<02717> (8795)_,

then shall I be weak
<02470> (8804)_,

and be as another
<0259>

man
<0120>_.

{green...: or, new cords: Heb. moist} {another: Heb. one}

Then the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

brought up
<05927> (8686)

to her seven
<07651>

green
<03892>

withs
<03499>

which had not been dried
<02717> (8795)_,

and she bound
<0631> (8799)

him with them. {green...: or, new cords: Heb. moist}

Now [there were] men lying in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

abiding
<03427> (8802)

with her in the chamber
<02315>_.

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The Philistines
<06430>

[be] upon thee, Samson
<08123>_.

And he brake
<05423> (8762)

the withs
<03499>_,

as a thread
<06616>

of tow
<05296>

is broken
<05423> (8735)

when it toucheth
<07306> (8687)

the fire
<0784>_.

So his strength
<03581>

was not known
<03045> (8738)_.

{toucheth: Heb. smelleth}

And Delilah
<01807>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samson
<08123>_,

Behold, thou hast mocked
<02048> (8765)

me, and told
<01696> (8762)

me lies
<03577>_:

now tell
<05046> (8685)

me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound
<0631> (8735)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, If they bind
<0631> (8799)

me fast
<0631> (8800)

with new
<02319>

ropes
<05688>

that never were occupied
<04399> <06213> (8738)_,

then shall I be weak
<02470> (8804)_,

and be as another
<0259>

man
<0120>_.

{that never...: Heb. wherewith work hath not been done}

Delilah
<01807>

therefore took
<03947> (8799)

new
<02319>

ropes
<05688>_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him therewith, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The Philistines
<06430>

[be] upon thee, Samson
<08123>_.

And [there were] liers in wait
<0693> (8802)

abiding
<03427> (8802)

in the chamber
<02315>_.

And he brake
<05423> (8762)

them from off his arms
<02220>

like a thread
<02339>_.

And Delilah
<01807>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samson
<08123>_,

Hitherto
<02008>

thou hast mocked
<02048> (8765)

me, and told
<01696> (8762)

me lies
<03577>_:

tell
<05046> (8685)

me wherewith thou mightest be bound
<0631> (8735)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, If thou weavest
<0707> (8799)

the seven
<07651>

locks
<04253>

of my head
<07218>

with the web
<04545>_.

And she fastened
<08628> (8799)

[it] with the pin
<03489>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The Philistines
<06430>

[be] upon thee, Samson
<08123>_.

And he awaked
<03364> (8799)

out of his sleep
<08142>_,

and went away
<05265> (8799)

with the pin
<03489>

of the beam
<0708>_,

and with the web
<04545>_.

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, How
<0349>

canst thou say
<0559> (8799)_,

I love
<0157> (8804)

thee, when thine heart
<03820>

[is] not with me? thou hast mocked
<02048> (8765)

me these three
<07969>

times
<06471>_,

and hast not told
<05046> (8689)

me wherein thy great
<01419>

strength
<03581>

[lieth].

And it came to pass, when she pressed
<06693> (8689)

him daily
<03117>

with her words
<01697>_,

and urged
<0509> (8762)

him, [so] that his soul
<05315>

was vexed
<07114> (8799)

unto death
<04191> (8800)_;

{vexed: Heb. shortened}

That he told
<05046> (8686)

her all his heart
<03820>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, There hath not come
<05927> (8804)

a razor
<04177>

upon mine head
<07218>_;

for I [have been] a Nazarite
<05139>

unto God
<0430>

from my mother's
<0517>

womb
<0990>_:

if I be shaven
<01548> (8795)_,

then my strength
<03581>

will go
<05493> (8804)

from me, and I shall become weak
<02470> (8804)_,

and be like any [other] man
<0120>_.

And when Delilah
<01807>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that he had told
<05046> (8689)

her all his heart
<03820>_,

she sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

for the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come up
<05927> (8798)

this once
<06471>_,

for he hath shewed
<05046> (8689)

me all his heart
<03820>_.

Then the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

came up
<05927> (8804)

unto her, and brought
<05927> (8686)

money
<03701>

in their hand
<03027>_.

And she made him sleep
<03462> (8762)

upon her knees
<01290>_;

and she called
<07121> (8799)

for a man
<0376>_,

and she caused him to shave off
<01548> (8762)

the seven
<07651>

locks
<04253>

of his head
<07218>_;

and she began
<02490> (8686)

to afflict
<06031> (8763)

him, and his strength
<03581>

went
<05493> (8799)

from him.

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

The Philistines
<06430>

[be] upon thee, Samson
<08123>_.

And he awoke
<03364> (8799)

out of his sleep
<08142>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will go out
<03318> (8799)

as at other times before
<06471>_,

and shake
<05287> (8735)

myself. And he wist
<03045> (8804)

not that the LORD
<03068>

was departed
<05493> (8804)

from him.

But the Philistines
<06430>

took
<0270> (8799)

him, and put out
<05365> (8762)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and brought him down
<03381> (8686)

to Gaza
<05804>_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him with fetters of brass
<05178>_;

and he did grind
<02912> (8802)

in the prison
<0631> (8803)

house
<01004>_.

{put out: Heb. bored out}

Howbeit the hair
<08181>

of his head
<07218>

began
<02490> (8686)

to grow again
<06779> (8763)

after
<0834>

he was shaven
<01548> (8795)_.

{after...: or, as when he was shaven}
