Judges 16:5-20

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.
