    17that he told her all his heart, and said to her, "No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazarite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

    18When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart." So the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.

    19Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.

    20She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" So he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free." But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.

    21Then the Philistines took him and put out his eyes and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze chains, and he became a grinder in the prison.

    3But Samson lay there until midnight, and at midnight he arose, and took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all. He put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.

    4It came to pass after this, that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

    5And the lords of the Philistines came to her and said, "Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, so that we may bind him and afflict him. Every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."

    6So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound to afflict you."

    7And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have never been dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

    8So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh cords, which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

    9Now men were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he broke the cords as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

    10Then Delilah said to Samson, "You have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me how you can be bound."

    11So he said to her, "If they bind me securely with new ropes that have never been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

    12Therefore Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And men were lying in wait in the room. But he broke them off his arms like a thread.

    13Delilah said to Samson, "Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me how you can be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web."

    14So she fastened it with the pin and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the pin of the loom and the web.

    28Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, "O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes."

    29And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars which supported the temple, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and the other on his left.

    12They said to him, We have come down to bind you, so we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. Samson said to them, Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.

    13They said to him, No; but we will bind you tightly and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you. They bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
