• Judg 16:4-9 : 4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 5 The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, 'Entice him and find out the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so that we may tie him up and subdue him. Each of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.' 6 So Delilah said to Samson, 'Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.' 7 Samson answered her, 'If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become weak and be like any other man.' 8 So the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them. 9 With men hidden in the room, she called out to him, 'Samson, the Philistines are upon you!' But he snapped the bowstrings as easily as a piece of string snaps when it comes close to a flame. So the secret of his strength was not discovered. 10 Then Delilah said to Samson, 'You have made a fool of me and lied to me. Now tell me how you can be tied up.' 11 He said to her, 'If anyone ties me securely with new ropes that have never been used, I will become as weak as any other man.' 12 So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them. Then she called out, 'Samson, the Philistines are upon you!' But men were hiding in the room, and he snapped the ropes off his arms as if they were threads. 13 Delilah said to Samson, 'You have been making a fool of me and telling me lies. Now tell me how you can be bound.' He replied, 'If you weave the seven locks of my hair into the fabric on the loom and fasten it with the pin, I will become weak like any other man.' 14 While he slept, Delilah took the seven locks of his hair, wove them into the fabric, and fastened them with the pin. Then she called to him, 'Samson, the Philistines are upon you!' But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin, the loom, and the fabric. 15 Then Delilah said to him, 'How can you say, “I love you,” when you won’t confide in me? This is the third time you have made a fool of me and have not told me the secret of your great strength.' 16 With her nagging she pressed him day after day until he was sick to death of it. 17 So he told her everything: 'No razor has ever been used on my head,' he said, 'because I have been a Nazirite dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.' 18 When Delilah saw that he had told her everything, she sent word to the rulers of the Philistines, 'Come back once more; he has told me everything.' So the rulers of the Philistines returned with the silver in their hands. 19 After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven locks of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him. 20 Then she called, 'Samson, the Philistines are upon you!' He awoke from his sleep and thought, 'I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.' But he did not know that the LORD had left him. 21 Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes, and took him down to Gaza. Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison.

• Ezra 10:2-9 : 2 Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, said to Ezra, "We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the peoples around us. But even now there is hope for Israel regarding this. 3 So now, let us make a covenant with our God to send away all these women and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and those who tremble at the command of our God. Let it be done in accordance with the Law. 4 Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We are with you, so take courage and act. 5 Then Ezra arose and made the leaders of the priests, Levites, and all Israel take an oath to do what had been said. So they took the oath. 6 Ezra then withdrew from the house of God and went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While he was there, he ate no food and drank no water because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles. 7 A proclamation was then issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem for all the exiles to assemble in Jerusalem. 8 Anyone who failed to appear within three days in accordance with the decision of the leaders and elders would have all his property confiscated and would be excluded from the assembly of the exiles. 9 So, within three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin had gathered in Jerusalem. It was the twentieth day of the ninth month, and all the people sat in the square before the house of God, trembling because of the matter and because of the heavy rain. 10 Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt. 11 Now make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do His will. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women. 12 The whole assembly responded with a loud voice, "You are right! We must do as you say. 13 But there are many people here, and it is the rainy season, so we cannot stand outside. This matter cannot be resolved in a day or two because we have sinned greatly in this matter. 14 Let our leaders act on behalf of the entire assembly. Then let all those in our towns who have married foreign women come at appointed times, along with the elders and judges of each town, until the fierce anger of our God regarding this matter is turned away from us. 15 But Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite. 16 So the exiles did as proposed. Ezra the priest selected men who were heads of families, each identified by name, to investigate the matter; they convened on the first day of the tenth month to begin their investigation. 17 By the first day of the first month, they had finished dealing with all the men who had married foreign women.
