Chapter 16
Then
went
Samson
to
Gaza,
and
saw
there
an
harlot,
and
went
in
vnto
her.
2
And
it
was
told
the
Gazites,
saying,
Samson
is
come
hither.
And
they
compassed
him
in,
and
layd
wait
for
him
all
night
in
the
gate
of
the
citie,
and
were
quiet
all
the
night,
saying,
In
the
morning
when
it
is
day,
we
shall
kill
him.
3
And
Samson
lay
till
midnight,
and
arose
at
midnight,
and
tooke
the
doores
of
the
gate
of
the
city,
and
the
two
posts,
and
went
away
with
them,
barre
and
all,
and
put
them
vpon
his
shoulders,
and
caried
them
vp
to
the
toppe
of
an
hill
that
is
before
Hebron.
4
And
it
came
to
passe
afterward,
that
he
loued
a
woman
in
the
valley
of
Sorek,
whose
name
was
Delilah.
5
And
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
came
vp
vnto
her,
and
said
vnto
her,
Entice
him,
and
see
wherein
his
great
strength
lieth,
and
by
what
meanes
we
may
preuaile
against
him,
that
we
may
bind
him,
to
afflict
him:
and
we
will
giue
thee
euery
one
of
vs,
eleuen
hundreth
pieces
of
siluer.
6
And
Delilah
said
to
Samson,
Tel
me,
I
pray
thee,
wherein
thy
great
strength
lyeth,
and
wherewith
thou
mightest
be
bound,
to
afflict
thee.
7
And
Samson
said
vnto
her,
If
they
binde
mee
with
seuen
greene
withs,
that
were
neuer
dried,
then
shall
I
be
weake,
and
be
as
another
man.
8
Then
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
brought
vp
to
her
seuen
greene
withs,
which
had
not
bene
dried,
&
she
bound
him
with
them.
9
Now
there
were
men
lying
in
wait,
abiding
with
her
in
the
chamber:
and
she
said
vnto
him,
The
Philistines
be
vpon
thee,
Samson.
And
he
brake
the
withs,
as
a
threed
of
tow
is
broken,
when
it
toucheth
the
fire:
so
his
strength
was
not
knowen.
10
And
Delilah
said
vnto
Samson,
Behold,
thou
hast
mocked
me,
and
told
mee
lies:
now
tell
mee,
I
pray
thee,
wherewith
thou
mightest
be
bound.
11
And
he
said
vnto
her,
If
they
bind
me
fast
with
newe
ropes
that
neuer
were
occupied,
then
shall
I
bee
weake,
and
be
as
another
man.
12
Delilah
therfore
tooke
new
ropes,
and
bound
him
therewith,
and
said
vnto
him,
The
Philistines
be
vpon
thee,
Samson.
(And
there
were
liers
in
wait
abiding
in
the
chamber.)
and
hee
brake
them
from
off
his
armes,
like
a
threed.
13
And
Delilah
said
vnto
Samson,
Hitherto
thou
hast
mocked
me,
and
told
me
lies:
tell
me
wherewith
thou
mightest
be
bound.
And
he
said
vnto
her,
If
thou
weauest
the
seuen
lockes
of
my
head
with
the
web.
14
And
she
fastened
it
with
the
pinne,
and
said
vnto
him,
The
Philistines
be
vpon
thee,
Samson.
And
hee
awaked
out
of
his
sleepe,
and
went
away
with
the
pinne
of
the
beame,
&
with
the
web.
15
And
shee
said
vnto
him,
How
canst
thou
say,
I
loue
thee,
when
thine
heart
is
not
with
mee?
Thou
hast
mocked
mee
these
three
times,
and
hast
not
told
me
wherin
thy
great
strength
lieth.
16
And
it
came
to
passe,
when
she
pressed
him
daily
with
her
wordes,
and
vrged
him,
so
that
his
soule
was
vexed
vnto
death,
17
That
he
told
her
all
his
heart,
and
said
vnto
her,
There
hath
not
come
a
rasor
vpon
mine
head:
for
I
haue
bene
a
Nazarite
vnto
God
from
my
mothers
wombe:
If
I
bee
shauen,
then
my
strength
will
goe
from
me,
and
I
shall
become
weake,
and
bee
like
any
other
man.
18
And
when
Delilah
saw
that
he
had
told
her
all
his
heart,
she
sent
and
called
for
the
Lords
of
the
Philistines,
saying,
Come
vp
this
once,
for
hee
hath
shewed
me
all
his
heart.
Then
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
came
vp
vnto
her,
&
brought
money
in
their
hand.
19
And
she
made
him
sleepe
vpon
her
knees,
and
she
called
for
a
man,
and
she
caused
him
to
shaue
off
the
seuen
lockes
of
his
head,
and
she
began
to
afflict
him,
and
his
strength
went
from
him.
20
And
she
said,
The
Philistines
be
vpon
thee,
Samson.
And
hee
awoke
out
of
his
sleepe,
and
said,
I
will
go
out
as
at
other
times
before,
and
shake
my
selfe.
And
he
wist
not
that
the
Lord
was
departed
from
him.
21
But
the
Philistines
tooke
him
and
put
out
his
eyes,
and
brought
him
downe
to
Gaza,
and
bound
him
with
fetters
of
brasse,
and
he
did
grind
in
the
prison
house.
22
Howbeit,
the
haire
of
his
head
began
to
grow
againe,
after
he
was
shauen.
23
Then
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
gathered
them
together,
for
to
offer
a
great
sacrifice
vnto
Dagon
their
god,
and
to
reioyce:
for
they
said,
Our
god
hath
deliuered
Samson
our
enemy
into
our
hand.
24
And
when
the
people
saw
him,
they
praised
their
god:
for
they
said,
Our
god
hath
deliuered
into
our
hands
our
enemy,
and
the
destroyer
of
our
countrey,
which
slew
many
of
vs.
25
And
it
came
to
passe
when
their
hearts
were
merry,
that
they
said,
Call
for
Samson,
that
hee
may
make
vs
sport.
And
they
called
for
Samson
out
of
the
prison
house,
and
he
made
them
sport,
and
they
set
him
betweene
the
pillars.
26
And
Samson
said
vnto
the
lad
that
held
him
by
the
hand,
Suffer
mee,
that
I
may
feele
the
pillars
whereupon
the
house
standeth,
that
I
may
leane
vpon
them.
27
Now
the
house
was
full
of
men
and
women,
and
all
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
were
there:
and
there
were
vpon
the
roofe
about
three
thousand
men
and
women,
that
behelde
while
Samson
made
sport.
28
And
Samson
called
vnto
the
Lord,
and
said,
O
Lord
God,
remember
me,
I
pray
thee,
&
strengthen
mee,
I
pray
thee,
onely
this
once,
O
God,
that
I
may
be
at
once
auenged
of
the
Philistines,
for
my
two
eyes.
29
And
Samson
tooke
hold
of
the
two
middle
pillars,
vpon
which
the
house
stood,
and
on
which
it
was
borne
vp,
of
the
one
with
his
right
hand,
and
of
the
other
with
his
left.
30
And
Samson
said,
Let
me
die
with
the
Philistines:
&
he
bowed
himselfe
with
all
his
might:
and
the
house
fel
vpon
the
lords,
and
vpon
all
the
people
that
were
therein:
so
the
dead
which
he
slew
at
his
death,
were
moe,
then
they
which
he
slew
in
his
life.
31
Then
his
brethren,
and
all
the
house
of
his
father,
came
downe,
and
tooke
him,
and
brought
him
vp,
and
buried
him
betweene
Zorah
and
Eshtaol,
in
the
burying
place
of
Manoah
his
father:
and
hee
iudged
Israel
twentie
yeeres.
