1 Then went H1980 W-VQY3MS Samson H8123 to Gaza H5804 , and saw H7200 W-VIY3MS there H8033 ADV a harlot H2181 , and went in H935 W-VQY3MS unto H413 her .
2 And it was told the Gazites H5841 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Samson H8123 is come H935 VQPMS hither H2008 ADV . And they compassed H5437 him in , and laid wait H693 for him all H3605 CMS night H3915 D-AMS in the gate H8179 of the city H5892 D-GFS , and were quiet H2790 all H3605 CMS the night H3915 D-AMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , In the morning H1242 , when H5704 PREP it is day H216 NMS , we shall kill H2026 him .
3 And Samson H8123 lay H7901 W-VQY3MS till H5704 PREP midnight H2677 , and arose H6965 W-VQY3MS at midnight H2677 , and took H270 the doors H1817 of the gate H8179 of the city H5892 D-GFS , and the two H8147 posts H4201 , and went away H5265 with them , bar and all H5973 , and put H7760 W-VQY3MS them upon H5921 PREP his shoulders H3802 , and carried them up H5927 to H413 PREP the top H7218 NMS of a hill H2022 that H834 RPRO is before H5921 PREP Hebron H2275 .
4 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS afterward H310 PREP , that he loved H157 a woman H802 NFS in the valley H5158 of Sorek H7796 , whose name H8034 was Delilah H1807 .
5 And the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 came up H5927 unto H413 PREP-3FS her , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto her , Entice H6601 him , and see H7200 wherein H4100 his great H1419 strength H3581 CMS-3MS lieth , and by what H4100 means we may prevail H3201 against him , that we may bind H631 him to afflict H6031 him : and we H587 will give H5414 thee every one H376 NMS of us eleven hundred H3967 pieces of silver H3701 NMS .
6 And Delilah H1807 said H559 W-VQY3FS to H413 PREP Samson H8123 , Tell H5046 me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , wherein H4100 thy great H1419 strength H3581 lieth , and wherewith H4100 thou mightest be bound H631 to afflict H6031 thee .
7 And Samson H8123 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3FS her , If H518 PART they bind H631 me with seven H7651 B-MMS green H3892 withes H3499 that H834 RPRO were never H3808 NADV dried H2717 , then shall I be weak H2470 , and be H1961 as another H259 K-NMS man H120 D-NMS .
8 Then the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 brought up H5927 to her seven H7651 NUM-MS green H3892 withes H3499 which H834 RPRO had not H3808 NADV been dried H2717 , and she bound H631 him with them .
9 Now there were men lying in wait H693 , abiding H3427 VQPMS with her in the chamber H2315 . And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , The Philistines H6430 TMS be upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee , Samson H8123 . And he broke H5423 the withes H3499 , as H834 K-RPRO a thread H6616 of tow H5296 is broken H5423 VNY3MS when it toucheth H7306 the fire H784 CMS . So his strength H3581 was not H3808 W-NPAR known H3045 .
10 And Delilah H1807 said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP Samson H8123 , Behold H2009 IJEC , thou hast mocked H2048 me , and told H1696 me lies H3577 : now H6258 ADV tell H5046 me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , wherewith H4100 thou mightest be bound H631 .
11 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3FS her , If H518 PART they bind me fast H631 with new H2319 AMP ropes H5688 that H834 RPRO never H3808 ADV were occupied H6213 , then shall I be weak H2470 , and be H1961 as another H259 K-NMS man H120 D-NMS .
12 Delilah H1807 therefore took H3947 W-VQY3FS new H2319 AMP ropes H5688 , and bound H631 him therewith , and said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , The Philistines H6430 TMS be upon H5921 M-PREP thee , Samson H8123 . And there were liers in wait H693 abiding H3427 VQPMS in the chamber H2315 . And he broke H5423 them from off H5921 M-PREP his arms H2220 like a thread H2339 .
13 And Delilah H1807 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Samson H8123 , Hitherto H5704 PREP thou hast mocked H2048 me , and told H1696 me lies H3576 : tell H5046 D-VHI2MS-3FS me wherewith H4100 thou mightest be bound H631 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP her , If H518 PART thou weavest H707 the seven H7651 MFS locks H4253 of my head H7218 CMS-1MS with H5973 PREP the web H4545 .
14 And she fastened H8628 it with the pin H3489 , and said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , The Philistines H6430 TMS be upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee , Samson H8123 . And he awaked H3364 out of his sleep H8142 , and went away H5265 W-VQY3MS with the pin H3489 of the beam H708 , and with the web H4545 .
15 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , How H349 canst thou say H559 , I love H157 thee , when thine heart H3820 is not H369 NPAR with H854 PREP-1MS me ? thou hast mocked H2048 me these three H7969 MFS times H6471 NFP , and hast not H3808 W-NPAR told H5046 VHQ2MS me wherein H4100 thy great H1419 strength H3581 lieth .
16 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when H3588 CONJ she pressed H6693 him daily H3117 D-NMP with her words H1697 , and urged H509 him , so that his soul H5315 NMS-3MS was vexed H7114 unto death H4191 ;
17 That he told H5046 her all H3605 NMS his heart H3820 CMS-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto her , There hath not H3808 ADV come H5927 a razor H4177 upon H5921 PREP mine head H7218 CMS-1MS ; for H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS have been a Nazarite H5139 unto God H430 EDP from my mother H517 CFS-1MS \'s womb H990 M-CFS : if H518 PART I be shaven H1548 , then my strength H3581 will go H5493 W-VQPMS from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me , and I shall become weak H2470 , and be H1961 like any H3605 NMS other man H120 D-NMS .
18 And when Delilah H1807 saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS that H3588 CONJ he had told H5046 VHQ3MS her all H3605 NMS his heart H3820 CMS-3MS , she sent H7971 and called H7121 W-VQY2MS for the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Come up H5927 this once H6471 D-GFS , for H3588 CONJ he hath showed H5046 VHQ3MS me all H3605 NMS his heart H3820 CMS-3MS . Then the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 came up H5927 unto H413 PREP-3FS her , and brought H5927 money H3701 in their hand H3027 .
19 And she made him sleep H3462 upon H5921 PREP her knees H1290 ; and she called H7121 W-VQY2MS for a man H376 LD-NMS , and she caused him to shave off H1548 the seven H7651 MFS locks H4253 of his head H7218 CMS-3MS ; and she began H2490 to afflict H6031 him , and his strength H3581 CMS-3MS went H5493 W-VHY3MS from PREP him .
20 And she said H559 W-VQY3MS , The Philistines H6430 TMS be upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee , Samson H8123 . And he awoke H3364 out of his sleep H8142 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will go out H3318 VQY1MS as at other times before H6471 , and shake myself H5287 . And he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS knew H3045 VQQ3MS not H3808 NADV that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS was departed H5493 from him .
21 But the Philistines H6430 took H270 him , and put out H5365 his eyes H5869 CMD-3MS , and brought him down H3381 to Gaza H5804 , and bound H631 him with fetters of brass H5178 ; and he did H1961 W-VQY3MS grind H2912 in the prison H615 house H1004 B-CMS .
22 Howbeit the hair H8181 of his head H7218 CMS-3MS began H2490 W-VHY3MS to grow again H6779 after H834 K-RPRO he was shaven H1548 .
23 Then the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 gathered them together H622 for to offer H2076 a great H1419 AMS sacrifice H2077 unto Dagon H1712 their god H430 , and to rejoice H8057 : for they said H559 W-VQY3MP , Our god H430 hath delivered H5414 VQQ3MS Samson H8123 our enemy H341 into our hand H3027 .
24 And when the people H5971 saw H7200 W-VQY3MP him , they praised H1984 their god H430 : for H3588 CONJ they said H559 VQQ3MP , Our god H430 hath delivered H5414 VQQ3MS into our hands H3027 our enemy H341 , and the destroyer H2717 of our country H776 , which H834 W-RPRO slew many H7235 of us .
25 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS , when H3588 their hearts H3820 CMS-3MP were merry H2896 , that they said H559 W-VQY3MP , Call H7121 for Samson H8123 , that he may make us sport H7832 . And they called H7121 W-VQY3MP for Samson H8123 out of the prison house H1004 ; and he made them sport H6711 : and they set H5975 him between H996 PREP the pillars H5982 .
26 And Samson H8123 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the lad H5288 that held H2388 him by the hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS , Suffer H5117 me that I may feel H4184 the pillars H5982 whereupon H834 RPRO the house H1004 D-NMS standeth H3559 NMS , that I may lean H8172 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them .
27 Now the house H1004 was full H4390 VQQ3MS of men H376 NMS and women H802 ; and all H3605 NMS the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 were there H8033 ; and there were upon H5921 W-PREP the roof H1406 about three H7969 thousand H505 MMP men H376 NMS and women H802 , that beheld H7200 while Samson H8123 made sport H7832 .
28 And Samson H8123 called H7121 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , O Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , remember H2142 me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , and strengthen H2388 me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , only H389 ADV this H2088 D-PMS once H6471 D-GFS , O God H430 D-EDP , that I may be at once avenged H5358 of the Philistines H6430 for my two H8147 eyes H5869 CMD-1MS .
29 And Samson H8123 took hold H3943 of the two H8147 ONUM middle H8432 pillars H5982 CMP upon H5921 PREP-3MP which H834 RPRO the house H1004 D-NMS stood H3559 NMS , and on H5921 PREP-3MP which it was borne up H5564 , of the one H259 MMS with his right hand H3225 , and of the other H259 with his left H8040 .
30 And Samson H8123 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Let me H5315 CFS-1MS die H4191 with H5973 PREP the Philistines H6430 TMS . And he bowed H5186 W-VQY3MS himself with all his might H3581 B-NMS ; and the house H1004 D-NMS fell H5307 W-VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP the lords H5633 , and upon H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were therein . So the dead H4191 which H834 RPRO he slew H4191 at his death H4194 were H1961 W-VQY3MP more H7227 AMP than they which H834 RPRO he slew H4191 in his life H2416 .
31 Then his brethren H251 NMP-3MS and all H3605 W-CMS the house H1004 CMS of his father H1 came down H3381 , and took H5375 W-VQY3MP him , and brought him up H5927 , and buried H6912 him between H996 PREP Zorah H6881 and Eshtaol H847 in the burial place H6913 of Manoah H4495 his father H1 CMS-3MS . And he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS judged H8199 Israel H3478 twenty H6242 years H8141 NFS .
