Judges 16:15-20
15And sheH3820 saidH559 unto him, HowH4100 canst thou sayH559, I loveH157 thee, when thine heartH3820 is notH3808 with meH413? thou hast mockedH2048 meH413 theseH2088 threeH7969 timesH6471, and hast notH3808 toldH5046 meH413 wherein thy greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth.
16And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when sheH3588 pressedH6693 him dailyH3117 with herH3605 wordsH1697, and urgedH509 him, that his soulH5315 was vexed unto deathH4191.
17And he toldH5046 herH3605 allH3605 his heartH3820, and saidH559 unto herH3605, There hath notH3808 comeH1961 a razor uponH5921 mineH4480 headH7218; for I have been a NaziriteH5139 unto GodH430 from my mother’sH517 wombH990: ifH518 I be shaven, then my strengthH3581 will goH5927 from meH5046, and I shall becomeH1961 weakH3808, and be like anyH3605 otherH3605 manH120.
18And when DelilahH1807 sawH7200 that he had toldH5046 herH3605 allH3605 his heartH3820, sheH3588 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, sayingH559, ComeH5927 upH5927 this onceH6471, for he hath toldH5046 meH413 allH3605 his heartH3820. Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 upH5927 unto herH3605, and broughtH5927 the moneyH3701 in their handH3027.
19And sheH7121 madeH7121 him sleepH3462 uponH5921 herH5921 kneesH1290; and sheH7121 calledH7121 for a manH376, and shavedH1548 offH5921 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of his headH7218; and sheH7121 beganH2490 to afflictH6031 him, and his strengthH3581 wentH376 from him.
20And sheH1931 saidH559, The PhilistinesH6430 be uponH5921 thee, SamsonH8123. And he awokeH3364 outH3318 of his sleepH8142, and saidH559, I will goH3318 outH3318 as at otherH6471 timesH6471, and shakeH5287 myselfH3045. But he wist notH3808 that the LORDH3068 was departedH3318 from him.
