Then Delilah H1807 said H559 to Samson H8123, “Up to now H2008 you have deceived H8524 me and told H1696 me lies H3577; tell H5046 me [fn]how H4100 you may be bound H631.” And he said H559 to her, “If H518 you weave H707 the seven H7651 locks H4253 of my head H7218 with the web H4545 [fn][and fasten H8628 it with a pin H3489, then I will become weak H2470 and be like any H259 other man H120.”
And Delilah H1807 saw H7200 that he had told H5046 her all H3605 that was in his heart H3820, so she sent H7971 and called H7121 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430, saying H559, “Come H5927 up H5927 once H6471 more H6471, for he has told H5046 me all H3605 that is in his heart H3820.” Then the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 came H5927 up H5927 to her and brought H5927 up H5927 the silver H3701 in their hands H3027.
So it happened H1961 when their hearts H3820 were merry H2895, that they said H559, “Call H7121 for Samson H8123, that he may amuse H7832 us.” So they called H7121 for Samson H8123 from the prison H1004 H631, and he [fn]entertained H6711 H6440 them. And they made him stand H5975 between H996 the pillars H5982.
Then Samson H8123 called H7121 to Yahweh H3068 and said H559, “O Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, please H4994 remember H2142 me and please H4994 strengthen H2388 me just H389 this H2088 time H6471, O God H430, that I may at once H259 be avenged H5358 of the Philistines H6430 for my two H8147 eyes H5869.”
