Judges 16:17-21

17That he toldH5046 her all his heartH3820, and saidH559 unto her, There hath not comeH5927 a razorH4177 upon mine headH7218; for I have been a NazariteH5139 unto GodH430 from my mother’sH517 wombH990: if I be shavenH1548, then my strengthH3581 will goH5493 from me, and I shall become weakH2470, and be like any other manH120. 18And when DelilahH1807 sawH7200 that he had toldH5046 her all his heartH3820, she sentH7971 and calledH7121 for the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, sayingH559, Come upH5927 this onceH6471, for he hath shewedH5046 me all his heartH3820. Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 unto her, and broughtH5927 moneyH3701 in their handH3027. 19And she made him sleepH3462 upon her kneesH1290; and she calledH7121 for a manH376, and she caused him to shave offH1548 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of his headH7218; and she beganH2490 to afflictH6031 him, and his strengthH3581 wentH5493 from him. 20And she saidH559, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awokeH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and saidH559, I will go outH3318 as at other times beforeH6471, and shakeH5287 myself. And he wistH3045 not that the LordH3068 was departedH5493 from him.

21But the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270 him, and put outH5365 his eyesH5869, and brought him downH3381 to GazaH5804, and boundH631 him with fetters of brassH5178; and he did grindH2912 in the prisonH631 houseH1004.1
