View Full Chapter

18When 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.

19After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. Hebrew; some Septuagint manuscripts and he began to weaken And his strength left him.

20Then 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. 21Then 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.

22But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.
