|Juízes 16:1| Samson then went to Gaza and, seeing a prostitute there, went in to her.
-
|Juízes 16:2| The men of Gaza being told, 'Samson has arrived,' surrounded the place and kept watch for him the whole night at the town gate. All that night they were going to make no move, thinking, 'Let us wait until daybreak, and then kill him.'
-
|Juízes 16:3| Till midnight, however, Samson stayed in bed, and then at midnight he got up, seized the doors of the town gate and the two posts as well; he tore them up, bar and all, hoisted them on to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill overlooking Hebron.
-
|Juízes 16:4| After this, he fell in love with a woman in the Vale of Sorek; she was called Delilah.
-
|Juízes 16:5| The Philistine chiefs visited her and said, 'Cajole him and find out where his great strength comes from, and how we can master him, so that we can bind him and subdue him. In return we shall each give you eleven hundred silver shekels.'
-
|Juízes 16:6| Delilah said to Samson, 'Please tell me where your great strength comes from, and what would be needed to bind and subdue you.'
-
|Juízes 16:7| Samson replied, 'If I were bound with seven new bowstrings which had not yet been dried, I should lose my strength and become like any other man.'
-
|Juízes 16:8| The Philistine chiefs brought Delilah seven new bowstrings which had not yet been dried and she took them and bound him with them.
-
|Juízes 16:9| She had men concealed in her room, and she shouted, 'The Philistines are on you, Samson!' Then he snapped the bowstrings as a strand of tow snaps at a touch of the fire. So the secret of his strength remained unknown.
-
|Juízes 16:10| Delilah then said to Samson, 'You have been laughing at me and telling me lies. But now please tell me what would be needed to bind you.'
