Judges 16:19-21

19She made him sleepH3462 on her kneesH1290, and calledH7121 for a manH376 and had him shaveH1548 offH1548 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of his 1hairH7218. Then she beganH2490 to afflictH6031 him, and his strengthH3581 leftH5493 him.

20She saidH559, “The PhilistinesH6430 are upon you, SamsonH8123!” And he awokeH3364 from his sleepH8142 and saidH559, “I will goH3318 out as at otherH6471 timesH6471 and shakeH5287 myself freeH5287.” But he did not knowH3045 that 2the LordH3068 had departedH5493 from him.

21Then the PhilistinesH6430 seizedH270 him and gougedH5365 out his eyesH5869; and they broughtH3381 him downH3381 to GazaH5804 and boundH631 him with bronzeH5178 chainsH5178, and he was a grinderH2912 in the prisonH1004H631.
