Judges 16:9

Context
16:9 They hid 1  in the bedroom and then she said to him, “The Philistines are here, 2  Samson!” He snapped the bowstrings as easily as a thread of yarn snaps when it is put close to fire. 3  The secret of his strength was not discovered. 4 

1 tn Heb “And the ones lying in wait were sitting for her.” The grammatically singular form וְהָאֹרֵב (vÿhaorev) is collective here, referring to the rulers as a group (so also in v. 16).

2 tn Heb “are upon you.”

3 tn Heb “when it smells fire.”

4 tn Heb “His strength was not known.”
