Judges 15:7-14
7And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, ThoughH518 ye have doneH6213 thisH2063, yet will I be avengedH5358 of you, and afterH310 that I will ceaseH2308. 8And he smoteH5221 them hipH7785 andH5921 thighH3409 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347: and he went downH3381 and dweltH3427 in the topH5585 of the rockH5553 EtamH5862.
9Then the PhilistinesH6430 went upH5927, and pitchedH2583 in JudahH3063, and spreadH5203 themselves in LehiH3896. 10And the menH376 of JudahH3063 saidH559, Why are ye come upH5927 against us? And they answeredH559, To bindH631 SamsonH8123 are we come upH5927, to doH6213 to him as he hath doneH6213 to us. 11Then threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 to the topH5585 of the rockH5553 EtamH5862, and saidH559 to SamsonH8123, KnowestH3045 thou not that the PhilistinesH6430 are rulersH4910 over us? what is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto us? And he saidH559 unto them, As they didH6213 unto me, so have I doneH6213 unto them.1 12And they saidH559 unto him, We are come downH3381 to bindH631 thee, that we may deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, SwearH7650 unto me, that ye will not fall uponH6293 me yourselves. 13And they spakeH559 unto him, sayingH559, No; but we will bindH631 thee fastH631, and deliverH5414 thee into their handH3027: but surelyH4191 we will not killH4191 thee. And they boundH631 him with twoH8147 newH2319 cordsH5688, and brought him upH5927 from the rockH5553.
14And when he cameH935 unto LehiH3896, the PhilistinesH6430 shoutedH7321 againstH7125 him: and the SpiritH7307 of YhwhH3068 came mightilyH6743 upon him, and the cordsH5688 that were upon his armsH2220 became as flaxH6593 that was burntH1197 with fireH784, and his bandsH612 loosedH4549 from off his handsH3027.2
