| Three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in the cliff of Etam and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? Why have you done this to us?” He said to them, “I have only done to them what they have done to me.” |
| (1.00) | Jdg 15:17 |
| When he finished speaking, he threw the jawbone down 1 and named that place Ramath Lehi. 2 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 16:2 |
| The Gazites were told, 1 “Samson has come here!” So they surrounded the town 2 and hid all night at the city gate, waiting for him to leave. 3 They relaxed 4 all night, thinking, 5 “He will not leave 6 until morning comes; 7 then we will kill him!” |
| (1.00) | Jdg 16:10 |
| Delilah said to Samson, “Look, you deceived 1 me and told me lies! Now tell me how you can be subdued.” |
| (1.00) | Jdg 16:11 |
| He said to her, “If they tie me tightly with brand new ropes that have never been used, 1 I will become weak and be just like any other man.” |
| (1.00) | Jdg 16:13 |
| Delilah said to Samson, “Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you can be subdued.” He said to her, “If you weave the seven braids of my hair 1 into the fabric on the loom 2 and secure it with the pin, I will become weak and be like any other man.” |
| (1.00) | Jdg 16:14 |
| So she made him go to sleep, wove the seven braids of his hair into the fabric on the loom, fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are here, 1 Samson!” 2 He woke up 3 and tore away the pin of the loom and the fabric. |
| (1.00) | Jdg 16:16 |
| She nagged him 1 every day and pressured him until he was sick to death of it. 2 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 16:18 |
| When Delilah saw that he had told her his secret, 1 she sent for 2 the rulers of the Philistines, saying, “Come up here again, for he has told me 3 his secret.” 4 So the rulers of the Philistines went up to visit her, bringing the silver in their hands. |
| (1.00) | Jdg 16:21 |
| The Philistines captured him and gouged out his eyes. They brought him down to Gaza and bound him in bronze chains. He became a grinder in the prison. |
| (1.00) | Jdg 17:4 |
| When he gave the silver back to his mother, she 1 took two hundred pieces of silver 2 to a silversmith, who made them into a carved image and a metal image. She then put them in Micah’s house. 3 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 17:8 |
| This man left the town of Bethlehem in Judah to find another place to live. He came to the Ephraimite hill country and made his way to Micah’s house. 1 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 18:19 |
| They said to him, “Shut up! Put your hand over your mouth and come with us! You can be our adviser 1 and priest. Wouldn’t it be better to be a priest for a whole Israelite tribe than for just one man’s family?” 2 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 18:25 |
| The Danites said to him, “Don’t say another word to us, or some very angry men 1 will attack you, and you and your family will die.” 2 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 18:30 |
| The Danites worshiped 1 the carved image. Jonathan, descendant 2 of Gershom, son of Moses, 3 and his descendants 4 served as priests for the tribe of Dan until the time of the exile. |
| (1.00) | Jdg 18:31 |
| They worshiped 1 Micah’s carved image 2 the whole time God’s authorized shrine 3 was in Shiloh. |
| (1.00) | Jdg 19:9 |
| When the man got ready to leave 1 with his concubine and his servant, 2 his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Look! The day is almost over! 3 Stay another night! Since the day is over, 4 stay another night here and have a good time. You can get up early tomorrow and start your trip home.” 5 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 19:16 |
| But then an old man passed by, returning at the end of the day from his work in the field. 1 The man was from the Ephraimite hill country; he was living temporarily in Gibeah. (The residents of the town were Benjaminites.) 2 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 19:22 |
| They were having a good time, 1 when suddenly 2 some men of the city, some good-for-nothings, 3 surrounded the house and kept beating 4 on the door. They said to the old man who owned the house, “Send out the man who came to visit you so we can have sex with him.” 5 |
| (1.00) | Jdg 20:3 |
| The Benjaminites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah. Then the Israelites said, “Explain how this wicked thing happened!” |
