1: And wentH1980 SamsonH8123 to Gaza,H5804 and sawH7200 thereH8033 a womanH0802 a harlot,H2181 and went inH0935 to her.H0413
2: [the Gazites,H5841 [When were told],H0559 has comeH0935 SamsonH8123 here.H2008 And they surrounded [the place]H5437 and lay in waitH0693 allH3605 nightH3915 at the gateH8179 of the city,H5892 and they were quietH2790 allH3605 night,H3915 saying,H0559 whenH5704 it is daylight,H0216 in the morning,H1242 and we will kill him.H2026
3: And lay [low]H7901 SamsonH8123 untilH5704 thatH2677 midnight,H3915 then he aroseH6965 atH2677 midnight,H3915 and took holdH0270 of the doorsH1817 of the gateH8179 of the city,H5892 and the twoH8147 gateposts,H4201 and pulled them upH5265 up alongH5973 bar and all,H1280 and put [them]H7760 onH5921 his shoulders,H3802 and carried themH5927 toH0413 the topH7218 of the hillH2022 thatH0834 uponH5921 facesH6440 Hebron.H2275
4: And it came to passH1961 AfterH0310 afterward,H3651 that he lovedH0157 a womanH0802 in the ValleyH5158 of Sorek,H7796 and whose name [was]H8034 Delilah.H1807
5: And came upH5927 to herH0413 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 and saidH0559 EnticeH6601 himH0853 and find outH7200 what [is]H4100 his strengthH3581 greatH1419 and by what [means]H4100 we may overpowerH3201 that we may bind himH0631 to afflict himH6031 and weH0587 will giveH5414 every one of usH0376 a thousandH0505 and a hundredH3967 [pieces] of silver.H3701
6: So saidH0559 DelilahH1807 toH0413 Samson,H8123 tellH5046 please,H4994 what [is]H4100 your strengthH3581 greatH1419 and with whatH4100 you may be boundH0631 to afflict you.H6031
7: And saidH0559 to herH0413 SamsonH8123 ifH0518 they bind meH0631 with sevenH7651 bowstringsH3499 freshH3892 thatH0834 notH3808 yet dried,H2717 then I shall become weak,H2470 and beH1961 like oneH0259 of [ordinary] men.H0120
8: So brought upH5927 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 sevenH7651 bowstringsH3499 freshH3892 thatH0834 notH3808 yet dried,H2717 and she bound himH0631
9: And [men were] lying in wait,H0693 stayingH3427 in the room.H2315 And she saidH0559 to himH0413 the Philistines [are]H6430 upon youH5921 Samson.H8123 But he brokeH5423 -H0853 the bowstrings,H3499 asH0834 breaksH5423 a strandH6616 of yarnH5296 when it touchesH7306 fire.H0784 So notH3808 was knownH3045 the secret of his strength.H3581
10: And saidH0559 DelilahH1807 toH0413 Samson,H8123 Look,H2009 you have mockedH2048 and toldH1696 meH0413 liesH3576 nowH6258 tellH5046 please,H4994 with whatH4100 you may be bound.H0631
11: So he saidH0559 to herH0413 ifH0518 securelyH0631 they bind meH0631 with ropesH5688 newH2319 thatH0834 neverH3808 were occupied,H6213 have been used,H4399 then I shall become weak,H2470 and beH1961 like oneH0259 of the [ordinary] men.H0120
12: Therefore tookH3947 DelilahH1807 ropes,H5688 newH2319 and bound himH0631 and saidH0559 to himH0413 the Philistines [are]H6430 upon youH5921 Samson.H8123 And [men were] lying in waitH0693 stayingH3427 in the room.H2315 But he broke themH5423 offH5921 his armsH2220 like a thread.H2339
13: And saidH0559 DelilahH1807 toH0413 Samson,H8123 upH5704 Until nowH2008 you have mockedH2048 and toldH1696 meH0413 lies-H3576 TellH5046 what withH4100 you may be bound.H0631 And he saidH0559 to herH0413 ifH0518 you weaveH0707 -H0853 sevenH7651 the locksH4253 of my headH7218 intoH5973 the web of the loom.H4545
14: So she wove [it] tightlyH8628 with the batten of the loom,H3489 and saidH0559 to himH0413 the Philistines [are]H6430 upon youH5921 Samson.H8123 But he awokeH3364 from his sleep,H8142 and pulled outH5265 outH0854 the battenH3489 the loom,H0708 and fromH0854 the web.H4545
15: And she saidH0559 to himH0413 howH0349 can you say,H0559 I love youH0157 and when your heart [is]H3820 notH0369 with meH0854 this [is]H2088 threeH7969 times,H6471 You have mockedH2048 and notH3808 have toldH5046 what [is]H4100 your strengthH3581 great.H1419
16: And it came to pass,H1961 whenH3588 she pesteredH6693 with her words,H1697 everyH3605 dailyH3117 and pressed himH0509 and [so] that was vexedH7114 his soulH5315 to death-H4191
17: that he toldH5046 -H0853 allH3605 his heart,H3820 and saidH0559 razorH4177 NoH3808 has ever comeH5927 uponH5921 my head-H7218 forH3588 a NaziriteH5139 GodH0430 I [have been]H0589 from womb.H0990 Of my motherH0517 ifH0518 I am shaven,H1548 then will leaveH5493 me-H4480 my strengthH3581 and I shall become weak,H2470 and beH1961 like any [other]H3605 man.H0120
18: And when sawH7200 DelilahH1807 thatH3588 he had toldH5046 -H0853 allH3605 his heart,H3820 and she sentH7971 and calledH7121 for the lordsH5633 of the Philistines,H6430 saying,H0559 come upH5927 once more,H6471 forH3588 he has toldH5046 -H0853 allH3605 his heart.H3820 So came upH5927 to herH0413 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 and broughtH5927 the moneyH3701 in their hand.H3027
19: And she lulled him to sleepH3462 onH5921 her knees-H1290 and calledH7121 for a man,H0376 and had him shave offH1548 -H0853 sevenH7651 the locksH4253 of his head-H7218 and she beganH2490 to torment himH6031 and leftH5493 his strengthH3581 him.H5921
20: And she said,H0559 the Philistines [are]H6430 upon youH5921 Samson.H8123 So he awokeH3364 from his sleep,H8142 and said,H0559 I will go outH3318 as beforeH6471 at other times,H6471 and shake myself free.H5287 But heH1931 notH3808 did knowH3045 thatH3588 YahwehH3068 had departedH5493 from him.H5921
21: And took himH0270 the PhilistinesH6430 and put outH5365 -H0853 his eyes,H5869 and brought downH3381 himH0853 to Gaza,H5804 and they bound himH0631 with bronze fetters-H5178 and he becameH1961 a grinderH2912 in the.H1004 prison.H0615
22: And However beganH2490 the hairH8181 of his headH7218 to grow againH6779 afterH0834 it had been shaven.H1548
23: Now the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 gathered togetherH0622 to offerH2076 a sacrificeH2077 greatH1419 to DagonH1712 their god,H0430 and to rejoice,H8057 and they said,H0559 has deliveredH5414 Our godH0430 into our hands.H3027 -H0853 SamsonH8123 our enemy.H0341
24: And when sawH7200 himH0853 the peopleH5971 and they praisedH1984 -H0853 their god,H0430 forH3588 they said,H0559 has deliveredH5414 Our godH0430 into our handsH3027 -H0853 our enemy,H0341 andH0853 the destroyerH2717 of our land,H0776 and the one whoH0834 multipliedH7235 -H0853 our dead.H2491
25: So it came to pass,H1961 whenH3588 when were merry,H2896 their heartsH3820 that they said,H0559 CallH7121 for Samson,H8123 that he may perform.H7832 so they calledH7121 for SamsonH8123 fromH1004 the prisonH0615 and he performedH6711 for them-H6440 and they stationedH5975 himH0853 betweenH0996 the pillars.H5982
26: And saidH0559 SamsonH8123 toH0413 the boyH5288 who held himH2388 by the hand,H3027 letH3240 meH0853 feelH3237 -H0853 the pillarsH5982 whichH0834 the templeH1004 support,H3559 whereuponH5921 so that I can leanH8172 on them.H5921
27: Now the templeH1004 was fullH4390 of menH0582 and women-H0802 and [were] there-H8033 allH3605 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 and onH5921 the roofH1406 about threeH7969 thousandH0505 menH0376 and women,H0802 watchingH7200 while performedH7832 Samson.H8123
28: And calledH7121 SamsonH8123 toH0413 Yahweh,H3069 and saying,H0559 LordH0136 GOD,H3068 remember meH2142 I pray,H4994 and Strengthen meH2388 I pray,H4994 justH0389 once,H6471 thisH2088 God,H0430 that I may take vengeanceH5358 [with] vengeful blowH5359 oneH0259 for twoH8147 my eyesH5869 on the Philistines.H6430
29: And took holdH3943 of SamsonH8123 -H0853 twoH8147 pillarsH5982 the middleH8432 whichH0834 the templeH1004 supported,H3559 onH5921 and he braced himself,H5564 against themH5921 oneH0259 on his right,H3225 and oneH0259 on his left.H8040
30: And said,H0559 SamsonH8123 let dieH4191 meH5315 withH5973 the Philistines.H6430 And he pushedH5186 with [all his] might-H3581 and fellH5307 the templeH1004 onH5921 the lords,H5633 andH5921 allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [were]H0834 so wereH1961 the deadH4191 thatH0834 he killedH4191 at his deathH4194 moreH7227 thanH0834 he had killedH4191 in his life.H2416
31: And came down,H3381 his brothersH0251 and allH3605 householdH1004 of his fatherH0001 and tookH5375 himH0853 and brought [him] up,H5927 and buriedH6912 himH0853 betweenH0996 ZorahH6881 andH0996 EshtaolH0847 in the tombH6913 of ManoahH4495 his father.H0001 And HeH1931 had judgedH8199 -H0853 IsraelH3478 twentyH6242 years.H8141
