Judges 16:4-20

4And it came to pass afterwardH310, that he lovedH157 a womanH802 in the valleyH5158 of SorekH7796, whose nameH8034 was DelilahH1807.1 5And the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 unto her, and saidH559 unto her, EnticeH6601 him, and seeH7200 wherein his greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth, and by what means we may prevailH3201 against him, that we may bindH631 him to afflictH6031 him: and we will giveH5414 thee every oneH376 of us eleven hundredH3967H505 pieces of silverH3701.2

6And DelilahH1807 saidH559 to SamsonH8123, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, wherein thy greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be boundH631 to afflictH6031 thee. 7And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto her, If they bindH631 me with sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 that were never driedH2717, then shall I be weakH2470, and be as anotherH259 manH120.34 8Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 brought upH5927 to her sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 which had not been driedH2717, and she boundH631 him with them.5 9Now there were men lying in waitH693, abidingH3427 with her in the chamberH2315. And she saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he brakeH5423 the withsH3499, as a threadH6616 of towH5296 is brokenH5423 when it touchethH7306 the fireH784. So his strengthH3581 was not knownH3045.6 10And DelilahH1807 saidH559 unto SamsonH8123, Behold, thou hast mockedH2048 me, and toldH1696 me liesH3577: now tellH5046 me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be boundH631. 11And he saidH559 unto her, If they bindH631 me fastH631 with newH2319 ropesH5688 that never were occupiedH6213H4399, then shall I be weakH2470, and be as anotherH259 manH120.7 12DelilahH1807 therefore tookH3947 newH2319 ropesH5688, and boundH631 him therewith, and saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And there were liers in waitH693 abidingH3427 in the chamberH2315. And he brakeH5423 them from off his armsH2220 like a threadH2339. 13And DelilahH1807 saidH559 unto SamsonH8123, HithertoH2008 thou hast mockedH2048 me, and toldH1696 me liesH3577: tellH5046 me wherewith thou mightest be boundH631. And he saidH559 unto her, If thou weavestH707 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of my headH7218 with the webH4545. 14And she fastenedH8628 it with the pinH3489, and saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awakedH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and went awayH5265 with the pinH3489 of the beamH708, and with the webH4545.

15And she saidH559 unto him, HowH349 canst thou sayH559, I loveH157 thee, when thine heartH3820 is not with me? thou hast mockedH2048 me these threeH7969 timesH6471, and hast not toldH5046 me wherein thy greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth. 16And it came to pass, when she pressedH6693 him dailyH3117 with her wordsH1697, and urgedH509 him, so that his soulH5315 was vexedH7114 unto deathH4191;8 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 YhwhH3068 was departedH5493 from him.
