Judges 16:15-20
15Then she saidH559 to him, “1HowH349 can you sayH559, ‘I loveH157 you,’ when your heartH3820 is not with me? You have toyedH8524 with me theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH6471 and have not toldH5046 me whereH4100 your greatH1419 strengthH3581 is.” 16And it cameH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3588 she pressedH6693 him dailyH3117 with her wordsH1697 and urgedH509 him, that his soulH5315 was 2annoyedH7114 to deathH4191. 17So he toldH5046 her allH3605 that was in his heartH3820 and saidH559 to her, “A razorH4177 has neverH3808 comeH5927 on my headH7218, for I have been a 3NaziriteH5139 to GodH430 from my mother’sH517 wombH990. IfH518 I am shavedH1548, then my strengthH3581 will leaveH5493H4480 me and I will becomeH2470 weakH2470 and be like anyH3605 other manH120.”
18When DelilahH1807 sawH7200 that he had toldH5046 her allH3605 that was in his heartH3820, she sentH7971 word and calledH7121 the governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, sayingH559, “ComeH5927 upH5927 onceH6471 moreH6471, for he has toldH5046 me allH3605 that is in his heartH3820.” Then the governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 upH5927 to her and broughtH5927 upH5927 the moneyH3701 in their handsH3027. 19And she made him sleepH3462 on her kneesH1290, and calledH7121 for a manH376 and had him shaveH1548 offH1548 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of his headH7218. Then she beganH2490 to humbleH6031 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 outH3318 as at otherH6471 timesH6471 and shakeH5287 myself freeH5287.” But he did not knowH3045 that 4the LordH3068 had departedH5493 from him.
