Then went
Samson
to Gaza,
and saw
there an harlot,
and went in
unto her.
And it was told the Gazites,
saying,
Samson
is come
hither. And they compassed him in,
and laid wait
for him all night
in the gate
of the city,
and were quiet
all the night,
saying,
In the morning,
when it is day,
we shall kill
him.

and took
the doors
of the gate
of the city,
and the two
posts,
and went away
with them, bar
and all, and put
them upon his shoulders,
and carried them up
to the top
of an hill
that is before
Hebron.

And it came to pass afterward,
that he loved
a woman
in the valley
of Sorek,
whose name
was Delilah.
And the lords
of the Philistines
came up
unto her, and said
unto her, Entice
him, and see
wherein his great
strength
lieth, and by what means we may prevail
against him, that we may bind
him to afflict
him: and we will give
thee every one
of us eleven hundred
pieces of silver.

And Delilah
said
to Samson,
Tell
me, I pray thee, wherein thy great
strength
lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound
to afflict
thee.
And Samson
said
unto her, If they bind
me with seven
green
withs
that were never dried,
then shall I be weak,
and be as another
man.
Then the lords
of the Philistines
brought up
to her seven
green
withs
which had not been dried,
and she bound
him with them.
Now there were men lying in wait,
abiding
with her in the chamber.
And she said
unto him, The Philistines
be upon thee, Samson.
And he brake
the withs,
as a thread
of tow
is broken
when it toucheth
the fire.
So his strength
was not known.

And Delilah

Behold, thou hast mocked

me lies:
now tell
me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
And he said
unto her, If they bind
me fast
with new

that never were occupied,
then shall I be weak,

Delilah
therefore took

And there were liers in wait
abiding
in the chamber.
And he brake
them from off his arms
like a thread.

And she fastened

And he awaked

And she said
unto him, How

lieth.

And it came to pass, when she pressed
him daily
with her words,
and urged
him, so that his soul
was vexed
unto death;
That he told
her all his heart,
and said
unto her, There hath not come
a razor
upon mine head;
for I have been a Nazarite
unto God
from my mother's
womb:
if I be shaven,
then my strength
will go
from me, and I shall become weak,
and be like any other man.
say
And when Delilah
saw
that he had told
her all his heart,
she sent
and called
for the lords
of the Philistines,
saying,
Come up
this once,
for he hath shewed
me all his heart.
Then the lords
of the Philistines
came up
unto her, and brought
money
in their hand.

And she made him sleep

for a man,

and she began
to afflict

went
from him.

myself. And he wist
not that the LORD
was departed
from him.

But the Philistines

to Gaza,
and bound
him with fetters of brass;
and he did grind

house.

Howbeit the hair

began
to grow again
after
he was shaven.
Then the lords
of the Philistines
gathered them together
for to offer
a great
sacrifice
unto Dagon
their god,
and to rejoice:
for they said,
Our god

And it came to pass, when their hearts

And they called

out of the prison
house;
and he made them
sport:
and they set
him between the pillars.

Now the house
was full

while Samson

which he slew
at his death
were more
than they which he slew

Then his brethren
and all the house

came down,

him, and brought him up,

him between Zorah

his father.
And he judged
