Judges 16:16-21
16And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her wordsH1697 and urged him, that his soulH5315 wasH1961 vexed unto deathH4191;
17and he toldH5046 her all his heartH3820, and saidH559 to her, There has not come a razor upon my headH7218; for I am a Nazarite of 1GodH430 from my mother's wombH990; if I should beH1961 shaven, then my strengthH3581 would goH5927 from me, and I should beH1961 weak, and beH1961 like all mankind.
18And DelilahH1807 sawH7200 that he had toldH5046 her all his heartH3820, and she sentH7971 and calledH7121 for the lords of the PhilistinesH6430, sayingH559, ComeH5927 up this timeH6471, for he has toldH5046 me all his heartH3820. And the lords of the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 up to her, and broughtH5927 the moneyH3701 in their handH3027.
19And she made him sleepH3462 upon her knees, and calledH7121 a manH376, and she caused him to shaveH1548 off the sevenH7651 locks of his headH7218; and she beganH2490 to overpower him, and his strengthH3581 went from him.
20And she saidH559, The PhilistinesH6430 are upon thee, SamsonH8123! And he awokeH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and thought, I will goH3318 out as at other timesH6471 before, and disengage myself. And he knewH3045 not that Jehovah had departed from him.
21And the PhilistinesH6430 seizedH270 him, and put out his eyesH5869, and broughtH3381 him downH3381 to Gazah, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178 of bronzeH5178; and he had to grindH2912 in the prison-house.
