Judges 15:7-14

7And SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, If ye actH6213 thus, for a certainty I will avengeH5358 myself on you, and then I will ceaseH2308.

8And he smote them hip and thighH3409 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. And he wentH3381 downH3381 and dweltH3427 in the cleftH5585 of the cliffH5553 EtamH5862.

9And the PhilistinesH6430 wentH5927 up, and encampedH2583 in JudahH3063, and spreadH5203 themselves in LehiH3896.

10And the menH376 of JudahH3063 saidH559, WhyH4100 are ye comeH5927 up against us? And they saidH559, To bindH631 SamsonH8123 are we comeH5927 up, to do to him as he has done to us.

11Then threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 downH3381 to the cleftH5585 of the cliffH5553 EtamH5862, and saidH559 to SamsonH8123, Knowest thou not that the PhilistinesH6430 ruleH4910 over us? And what is this that thou hast done to us? And he saidH559 to them, As they did to me, soH3651 have I done to them.

12And they saidH559 to him, We are comeH3381 down to bindH631 thee, that we may giveH5414 thee into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. And SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, SwearH7650 to me that ye will not fallH6293 on me yourselves.

13And they spoke to him, sayingH559, No; but we will bindH631 thee fast, and deliver thee into their handH3027; but we certainly shall not putH5414 thee to deathH4191. And they boundH631 him with twoH8147 newH2319 cordsH5688, and broughtH5927 him up from the cliffH5553.

14When he cameH935 to LehiH3896, the PhilistinesH6430 shoutedH7321 against him. And the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah cameH935 upon him, and the cordsH5688 that were on his armsH2220 becameH1961 as threads of flaxH6593 that are burnedH1197 with fireH784, and his bands loosed from off his handsH3027.
