Judges 14:1--16:31

And Samson
<08123>

went down
<03381> (8799)

to Timnath
<08553>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

a woman
<0802>

in Timnath
<08553>

of the daughters
<01323>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And he came up
<05927> (8799)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

a woman
<0802>

in Timnath
<08553>

of the daughters
<01323>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

now therefore get
<03947> (8798)

her for me to wife
<0802>_.

Then his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is there] never
<0369>

a woman
<0802>

among the daughters
<01323>

of thy brethren
<0251>_,

or among all my people
<05971>_,

that thou goest
<01980> (8802)

to take
<03947> (8800)

a wife
<0802>

of the uncircumcised
<06189>

Philistines
<06430>_?

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

Get
<03947> (8798)

her for me; for she pleaseth me well
<03474> (8804) <05869>_.

{pleaseth...: Heb. is right in mine eyes}

But his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not that it [was] of the LORD
<03068>_,

that he sought
<01245> (8764)

an occasion
<08385>

against the Philistines
<06430>_:

for at that time
<06256>

the Philistines
<06430>

had dominion
<04910> (8802)

over Israel
<03478>_.

Then went
<03381> (0)

Samson
<08123>

down
<03381> (8799)_,

and his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>_,

to Timnath
<08553>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to the vineyards
<03754>

of Timnath
<08553>_:

and, behold, a young
<03715>

lion
<0738>

roared
<07580> (8802)

against
<07125> (8800)

him. {against...: Heb. in meeting him}

And the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came mightily
<06743> (8799)

upon him, and he rent
<08156> (8762)

him as he would have rent
<08156> (8763)

a kid
<01423>_,

and [he had] nothing
<03972>

in his hand
<03027>_:

but he told
<05046> (8689)

not his father
<01>

or his mother
<0517>

what he had done
<06213> (8804)_.

And he went down
<03381> (8799)_,

and talked
<01696> (8762)

with the woman
<0802>_;

and she pleased
<03474> (0)

Samson
<08123>

well
<03474> (8799) <05869>_.

And after a time
<03117>

he returned
<07725> (8799)

to take
<03947> (8800)

her, and he turned aside
<05493> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8800)

the carcase
<04658>

of the lion
<0738>_:

and, behold, [there was] a swarm
<05712>

of bees
<01682>

and honey
<01706>

in the carcase
<01472>

of the lion
<0738>_.

And he took
<07287> (8799)

thereof in his hands
<03709>_,

and went on
<03212> (8799)

eating
<0398> (8800)_,

and came
<01980> (8800)

to his father
<01>

and mother
<0517>_,

and he gave
<05414> (8799)

them, and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_:

but he told
<05046> (8689)

not them that he had taken
<07287> (8804)

the honey
<01706>

out of the carcase
<01472>

of the lion
<0738>_.

So his father
<01>

went down
<03381> (8799)

unto the woman
<0802>_:

and Samson
<08123>

made
<06213> (8799)

there a feast
<04960>_;

for so used the young men
<0970>

to do
<06213> (8799)_.

And it came to pass, when they saw
<07200> (8800)

him, that they brought
<03947> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

companions
<04828>

to be with him.

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I will now put forth
<02330> (8799)

a riddle
<02420>

unto you: if ye can certainly
<05046> (8687)

declare
<05046> (8686)

it me within the seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

of the feast
<04960>_,

and find [it] out
<04672> (8804)_,

then I will give
<05414> (8804)

you thirty
<07970>

sheets
<05466>

and thirty
<07970>

change
<02487>

of garments
<0899>_:

{sheets: or, shirts}

But if ye cannot
<03201> (8799)

declare
<05046> (8687)

[it] me, then shall ye give
<05414> (8804)

me thirty
<07970>

sheets
<05466>

and thirty
<07970>

change
<02487>

of garments
<0899>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Put forth
<02330> (8798)

thy riddle
<02420>_,

that we may hear
<08085> (8799)

it. {sheets: or, shirts}

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Out of the eater
<0398> (8802)

came forth
<03318> (8804)

meat
<03978>_,

and out of the strong
<05794>

came forth
<03318> (8804)

sweetness
<04966>_.

And they could
<03201> (8804)

not in three
<07969>

days
<03117>

expound
<05046> (8687)

the riddle
<02420>_.

And it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samson's
<08123>

wife
<0802>_,

Entice
<06601> (8761)

thy husband
<0376>_,

that he may declare
<05046> (8686)

unto us the riddle
<02420>_,

lest we burn
<08313> (8799)

thee and thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>

with fire
<0784>_:

have ye called
<07121> (8804)

us to take that we have
<03423> (8800)_?

[is it] not [so]? {take...: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us?}

And Samson's
<08123>

wife
<0802>

wept
<01058> (8799)

before him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou dost but hate
<08130> (8804)

me, and lovest
<0157> (8804)

me not: thou hast put forth
<02330> (8804)

a riddle
<02420>

unto the children
<01121>

of my people
<05971>_,

and hast not told
<05046> (8689)

[it] me. And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Behold, I have not told
<05046> (8689)

[it] my father
<01>

nor my mother
<0517>_,

and shall I tell
<05046> (8686)

[it] thee?

And she wept
<01058> (8799)

before him the seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

while their feast
<04960>

lasted
<01961> (8804)_:

and it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that he told
<05046> (8686)

her, because she lay sore
<06693> (8689)

upon him: and she told
<05046> (8686)

the riddle
<02420>

to the children
<01121>

of her people
<05971>_.

{the seven...: or, the rest of the seven days}

And the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>

before the sun
<02775>

went down
<0935> (8799)_,

What [is] sweeter
<04966>

than honey
<01706>_?

and what [is] stronger
<05794>

than a lion
<0738>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, If
<03884>

ye had not plowed
<02790> (8804)

with my heifer
<05697>_,

ye had not found out
<04672> (8804)

my riddle
<02420>_.

And the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<06743> (8799)

upon him, and he went down
<03381> (8799)

to Ashkelon
<0831>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

thirty
<07970>

men
<0376>

of them, and took
<03947> (8799)

their spoil
<02488>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

change
<02487>

of garments unto them which expounded
<05046> (8688)

the riddle
<02420>_.

And his anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)_,

and he went up
<05927> (8799)

to his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

{spoil: or, apparel}

But Samson's
<08123>

wife
<0802>

was [given] to his companion
<04828>_,

whom he had used as his friend
<07462> (8765)_.

But it came to pass within a while after
<03117>_,

in the time
<03117>

of wheat
<02406>

harvest
<07105>_,

that Samson
<08123>

visited
<06485> (8799)

his wife
<0802>

with a kid
<01423> <05795>_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will go in
<0935> (8799)

to my wife
<0802>

into the chamber
<02315>_.

But her father
<01>

would not suffer
<05414> (8804)

him to go in
<0935> (8800)_.

And her father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I verily
<0559> (8800)

thought
<0559> (8804)

that thou hadst utterly
<08130> (8800)

hated
<08130> (8804)

her; therefore I gave
<05414> (8799)

her to thy companion
<04828>_:

[is] not her younger
<06996>

sister
<0269>

fairer
<02896>

than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. {take...: Heb. let her be thine}

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

concerning them, Now
<06471>

shall I be more blameless
<05352> (8738)

than the Philistines
<06430>_,

though I do
<06213> (8802)

them a displeasure
<07451>_.

{more...: or, blameless from the Philistines though, etc}

And Samson
<08123>

went
<03212> (8799)

and caught
<03920> (8799)

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

foxes
<07776>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

firebrands
<03940>_,

and turned
<06437> (8686)

tail
<02180>

to tail
<02180>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

a
<0259>

firebrand
<03940>

in the midst
<08432>

between two
<08147>

tails
<02180>_.

{firebrands: or, torches}

And when he had set
<01197> (8686)

the brands
<03940>

on fire
<0784>_,

he let [them] go
<07971> (8762)

into the standing corn
<07054>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and burnt up
<01197> (8686)

both the shocks
<01430>_,

and also the standing corn
<07054>_,

with the vineyards
<03754>

[and] olives
<02132>_.

Then the Philistines
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who hath done
<06213> (8804)

this? And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Samson
<08123>_,

the son in law
<02860>

of the Timnite
<08554>_,

because he had taken
<03947> (8804)

his wife
<0802>_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

her to his companion
<04828>_.

And the Philistines
<06430>

came up
<05927> (8799)_,

and burnt
<08313> (8799)

her and her father
<01>

with fire
<0784>_.

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Though
<0518>

ye have done
<06213> (8799)

this
<02063>_,

yet will I be avenged
<05358> (8738)

of you, and after
<0310>

that I will cease
<02308> (8799)_.

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

them hip
<07785>

and
<05921>

thigh
<03409>

with a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_:

and he went down
<03381> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the top
<05585>

of the rock
<05553>

Etam
<05862>_.

Then the Philistines
<06430>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Judah
<03063>_,

and spread
<05203> (8735)

themselves in Lehi
<03896>_.

And the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why are ye come up
<05927> (8804)

against us? And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,

To bind
<0631> (8800)

Samson
<08123>

are we come up
<05927> (8804)_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

to him as he hath done
<06213> (8804)

to us.

Then three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

went
<03381> (8799)

to the top
<05585>

of the rock
<05553>

Etam
<05862>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Samson
<08123>_,

Knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou not that the Philistines
<06430>

[are] rulers
<04910> (8802)

over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto us? And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, As they did
<06213> (8804)

unto me, so have I done
<06213> (8804)

unto them. {went: Heb. went down}

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We are come down
<03381> (8804)

to bind
<0631> (8800)

thee, that we may deliver
<05414> (8800)

thee into the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me, that ye will not fall upon
<06293> (8799)

me yourselves.

And they spake
<0559> (8799)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

No; but we will bind
<0631> (8799)

thee fast
<0631> (8800)_,

and deliver
<05414> (8804)

thee into their hand
<03027>_:

but surely
<04191> (8687)

we will not kill
<04191> (8686)

thee. And they bound
<0631> (8799)

him with two
<08147>

new
<02319>

cords
<05688>_,

and brought him up
<05927> (8686)

from the rock
<05553>_.

[And] when he came
<0935> (8804)

unto Lehi
<03896>_,

the Philistines
<06430>

shouted
<07321> (8689)

against
<07125> (8800)

him: and the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came mightily
<06743> (8799)

upon him, and the cords
<05688>

that [were] upon his arms
<02220>

became as flax
<06593>

that was burnt
<01197> (8804)

with fire
<0784>_,

and his bands
<0612>

loosed
<04549> (8735)

from off his hands
<03027>_.

{loosed: Heb. were melted}

And he found
<04672> (8799)

a new
<02961>

jawbone
<03895>

of an ass
<02543>_,

and put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

it, and slew
<05221> (8686)

a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

therewith. {new: Heb. moist}

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

With the jawbone
<03895>

of an ass
<02543>_,

heaps
<02565>

upon heaps
<02565>_,

with the jaw
<03895>

of an ass
<02543>

have I slain
<05221> (8689)

a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

{heaps upon...: Heb. an heap, two heaps}

And it came to pass, when he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)_,

that he cast away
<07993> (8686)

the jawbone
<03895>

out of his hand
<03027>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

that place
<04725>

Ramathlehi
<07437>_.

{Ramathlehi: that is, the lifting up of the jawbone, or, casting away of the jawbone}

And he was sore
<03966>

athirst
<06770> (8799)_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

on the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

this great
<01419>

deliverance
<08668>

into the hand
<03027>

of thy servant
<05650>_:

and now shall I die
<04191> (8799)

for thirst
<06772>_,

and fall
<05307> (8804)

into the hand
<03027>

of the uncircumcised
<06189>_?

But God
<0430>

clave
<01234> (8799)

an hollow place
<04388>

that [was] in the jaw
<03895>_,

and there came
<03318> (8799)

water
<04325>

thereout; and when he had drunk
<08354> (8799)_,

his spirit
<07307>

came again
<07725> (8799)_,

and he revived
<02421> (8799)_:

wherefore he called
<07121> (8802)

the name
<08034>

thereof Enhakkore
<05875>_,

which [is] in Lehi
<03896>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Enhakkore: that is, the well of him that called or, cried} {the jaw: or, Lehi, as called in this chapter}

And he judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

in the days
<03117>

of the Philistines
<06430>

twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>_.

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}

Then the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

gathered them together
<0622> (8738)

for to offer
<02076> (8800)

a great
<01419>

sacrifice
<02077>

unto Dagon
<01712>

their god
<0430>_,

and to rejoice
<08057>_:

for they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Our god
<0430>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

Samson
<08123>

our enemy
<0341> (8802)

into our hand
<03027>_.

And when the people
<05971>

saw
<07200> (8799)

him, they praised
<01984> (8762)

their god
<0430>_:

for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Our god
<0430>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

into our hands
<03027>

our enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

and the destroyer
<02717> (8688)

of our country
<0776>_,

which slew
<02491>

many
<07235> (8689)

of us. {which...: Heb. and who multiplied our slain}

And it came to pass, when their hearts
<03820>

were merry
<02896>_,

that they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Call
<07121> (8798)

for Samson
<08123>_,

that he may make us sport
<07832> (8762)_.

And they called
<07121> (8799)

for Samson
<08123>

out of the prison
<0631> (8803)

house
<01004>_;

and he made them
<06440>

sport
<06711> (8762)_:

and they set
<05975> (8686)

him between the pillars
<05982>_.

{them: Heb. before them}

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the lad
<05288>

that held
<02388> (8688)

him by the hand
<03027>_,

Suffer
<03240> (8685)

me that I may feel
<04184> (8685) (8675) <03237> (8685)

the pillars
<05982>

whereupon the house
<01004>

standeth
<03559> (8737)_,

that I may lean
<08172> (8735)

upon them.

Now the house
<01004>

was full
<04390> (8804)

of men
<0582>

and women
<0802>_;

and all the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

[were] there; and [there were] upon the roof
<01406>

about three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

and women
<0802>_,

that beheld
<07200> (8802)

while Samson
<08123>

made sport
<07832> (8800)_.

And Samson
<08123>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

remember
<02142> (8798)

me, I pray thee, and strengthen
<02388> (8761)

me, I pray thee, only this once
<06471>_,

O God
<0430>_,

that I may be at once
<0259>

avenged
<05358> (8735) <05359>

of the Philistines
<06430>

for my two
<08147>

eyes
<05869>_.

And Samson
<08123>

took hold
<03943> (8799)

of the two
<08147>

middle
<08432>

pillars
<05982>

upon which the house
<01004>

stood
<03559> (8737)_,

and on which it was borne up
<05564> (8735)_,

of the one
<0259>

with his right hand
<03225>_,

and of the other
<0259>

with his left
<08040>_.

{on which...: or, he leaned on them}

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me die
<04191> (8799) <05315>

with the Philistines
<06430>_.

And he bowed
<05186> (8799)

himself with [all his] might
<03581>_;

and the house
<01004>

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon the lords
<05633>_,

and upon all the people
<05971>

that [were] therein. So the dead
<04191> (8801)

which he slew
<04191> (8689)

at his death
<04194>

were more
<07227>

than [they] which he slew
<04191> (8689)

in his life
<02416>_.

{me: Heb. my soul}

Then his brethren
<0251>

and all the house
<01004>

of his father
<01>

came down
<03381> (8799)_,

and took
<05375> (8799)

him, and brought [him] up
<05927> (8799)_,

and buried
<06912> (8799)

him between Zorah
<06881>

and Eshtaol
<0847>

in the buryingplace
<06913>

of Manoah
<04495>

his father
<01>_.

And he judged
<08199> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>_.
