Judges 15:7-14
7And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, IfH518 ye doH6213 afterH310 this manner, surelyH3588 I will be avengedH5358 of youH3588, and afterH310 that I will ceaseH2308.
8And he smoteH5221 them hipH3409 and thighH3409 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347: and he wentH3381 downH3381 and dweltH3427 in the cleftH5585 of the rockH5553 of EtamH5862.
9Then the PhilistinesH6430 wentH5927 upH5927, and pitchedH2583 in JudahH3063, and spreadH5203 themselves in LehiH3896.
10And the menH376 of JudahH3063 saidH559, WhyH4100 are ye comeH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 usH5921? And they saidH559, To bindH631 SamsonH8123 are weH834 comeH5927 upH5927, to doH6213 to him as he hath doneH6213 to usH5921.
11Then threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 downH3381 to the cleftH5585 of the rockH5553 of EtamH5862, and saidH559 to SamsonH8123, Knowest thou notH3808 that the PhilistinesH6430 are rulersH4910 over usH413? whatH4100 then is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto usH413? And he saidH559 unto them, As they didH6213 unto meH413, soH3651 have I doneH6213 unto them.
12And they saidH559 unto him, WeH6435 are comeH3381 downH3381 to bindH631 thee, that weH6435 may deliverH5414 thee intoH3027 the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, SwearH7650 unto meH5414, that ye will notH6435 fallH6293 uponH6293 meH5414 yourselves.
13And they spake unto him, sayingH559, NoH3808; but weH3588 will bindH631 thee fastH631, and deliverH5414 thee intoH3027 their handH3027: but surelyH3588 weH3588 will notH3808 killH4191 thee. And they boundH631 him with twoH8147 newH2319 ropesH5688, and broughtH5927 him upH5927 from the rockH5553.
14When he cameH935 unto LehiH3896, the PhilistinesH6430 shoutedH7321 as they metH7125 him: and the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 mightily uponH5921 him, and the ropesH5688 that were uponH5921 his armsH2220 becameH1961 as flaxH6593 that was burnt with fireH784, and his bands droppedH4549 from offH5921 his handsH3027.
