1One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
“Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.”
“Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.”
“Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.”
2When the Gazites heard that Samson was there, they surrounded that place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They were quiet throughout the night, saying, "Let us wait until dawn; then we will kill him."
“When the Gazites were told Samson has come here, they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They were quiet all night, saying, In the morning, when it is daylight, we will kill him.”
“It was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and they laid wait for him all night in the gate of the sitting, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall…”
3But Samson lay there only until midnight, when he got up, took hold of the doors of the city gate and both gateposts, and pulled them out, bar and all. Then he put them on his shoulders and took them to the top of the mountain overlooking Hebron.
“And Samson lay low till midnight. Then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill…”
“And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill…”
“And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city of the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill…”
“And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the sitting and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill…”
“Samson lay low till midnight, then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gates of the city, the two gateposts, pulled them up, bars and all, and he put them on his shoulders, he carried them to the top of the hill…”
4Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
“And it came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sork whose name was Delilah.”
“Afterward, it happened that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorok whose name was Delilah.”
“And it came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Surik, whose name was Delilah.”
“and it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Thorek, whose name was Delilah.”
“And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorok, whose name was Delilah.”
“It came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah.”
5The lords of the Philistines went to her and said, "Entice him and find out the source of his great strength and how we can overpower him to tie him up and subdue him. Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver."
“And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him, and we will give thee…”
“And the lords of the Philistines came unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him. And we will give thee…”
“And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her and said unto her, Entice him and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may find him to afflict him, and we will give thee…”
“And the Lords of the Philistines came up unto her and said unto her, Entice him and see wherein his great strength lies. And by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him, and we will give thee…”
6So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued."
“So Delilah said to Samson, Please tell me where your great strength is and how you may be bound to afflict you.”
“And Delilah said to Samson, tell me I pray thee wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.”
“So Delilah said to Samson, Please tell me where your great strength lies and with what you may be bound to afflict you.”
“And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.”
“Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, where in thy great strength lieth? And wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee?”
“And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherein thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.”
7Samson told her, "If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become as weak as any other man."
“And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green wits that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.”
“And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven fresh bow strings, not yet dried, then I shall become weak and be like any other man.”
“Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green wisps that were never dried, then shall I be weak and be as another man,”
8So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
“Then the Lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green wisps, which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.”
“So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bow strings, not yet dried, and she bound him with them.”
“Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green wits which had not been dried, and she bound them with them.”
9While the men were hidden in her room, she called out, "Samson, the Philistines are here!" But he snapped the bowstrings like a strand of yarn seared by a flame. So the source of his strength remained unknown.
“Now men were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him, The Philistines are upon you, Samson. But he broke the bow strings as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was…”
“Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson, and ye break the wits as a thread of toad broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not…”
“Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chambers, and she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he breaked the wisp as a thread of toes, broken when it touches a fire. So his strength was not…”
10Then Delilah said to Samson, "You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up."
“Then Delilah said to Samson, Behold, you have deceived me and told me lies. Now please tell me how you may be bound.”
“Then Delilah said to Samson, Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Now please tell me what you may be bound with.”
“And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.”
“And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith I'll mightest be bound.”
11He replied, "If they tie me up with new ropes that have never been used, I will become as weak as any other man."
“And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak and be as another man.”
“So Samson 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.”
“And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that were never occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.”
12So Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and called out, "Samson, the Philistines are here!" But while the men were hidden in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads.
“Therefore 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, staying in the room. But he broke them off his arms like a thread.”
“Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liars in wait, abiding in the chambers, and he breaked them from off his arms like a thread.”
“Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound them therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liars in wait, abiding in the chamber, and ye break them from off his arms like a thread.”
13Then Delilah said to Samson, "You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up." He told her, "If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man."
“Delilah said to Samson, Until now you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me what you may be bound with. And he said to her, If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of the loom.”
“And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies. Tell me, wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web,”
“Delilah said unto Samson hitherto thou hast mocked me and told me lies, tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And she said unto her he said unto her if thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web”
“Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you may be bound. And he said to her, If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web and fasten with the pin, then I shall become…”
“And Delilah said unto Samson, Here thereto, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies. Tell me, wherewith I'll mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web,”
14So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the web. Then she tightened it with a pin and called to him, "Samson, the Philistines are here!" But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin with the loom and the web.
“So she wove it tightly with the batten of the loom and said to him, The Philistines are upon you, Samson. But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the batten and the web from the loom.”
“and she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his head, out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.”
“fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam and with the web,”
15"How can you say, 'I love you,'" she asked, "when your heart is not with me? This is the third time you have mocked me and failed to reveal to me the source of your great strength!"
“Then she said to him, How can you say I love you when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times and have not told me where your great strength lies.”
“And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein that great strength lieth.”
“she said unto him, How canst thou say I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.”
“And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength”
“She said unto him, How canst thou say I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.”
“She said to him, How canst thou say I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.”
16Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
“And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death,”
“And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death,”
“And it came to pass when she pressed him dearly with her words and urged him so that his soul was vexed unto death,”
“It came to pass when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him so that his soul was vexed to death.”
“It came to pass when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him so that his soul was vexed to death.”
“It came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death,”
17Samson told her all that was in his heart: "My hair has never been cut, because I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become as weak as any other man."
“that he told her all his heart and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head, for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb. If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me and I shall become weak and…”
“that he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head, for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb. If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak…”
“that he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon my head, for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb. If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak,…”
“That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There has not come a razor upon mine head, for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb. If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak,…”
“he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon my head, for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb. If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be…”
“that he told her all his heart. And said unto her, There hath not a razor come upon my head, for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb. If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak,…”
18When Delilah realized that he had revealed to her all that was in his heart, she sent this message to the lords of the Philistines: "Come up once more, for he has revealed to me all that is in his heart." Then the lords of the Philistines came to her, bringing the money in their hands.
“And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her,…”
“When Delilah saw that He told her all of His heart. She sent and called for the lords of the Philistines saying, Come up once more for He has told me all of His heart. So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought…”
“And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he has showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her and…”
“And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he has shoved me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her and…”
“And when Delilah saw that, he had told her all his heart. She sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he has showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her,…”
“And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines saying, come up this once for he has shown me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her and…”
19And having lulled him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his head. In this way she began to subdue him, and his strength left him.
“and she made him sleep upon her knees and she called for a man and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head and she began to afflict him and his strength went from him.”
“And she made him sleep upon her knees. And she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head. And she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.”
“Then 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.”

“And she made him sleep upon her knees, and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head. And she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.”
20Then she called out, "Samson, the Philistines are here!" When Samson awoke from his sleep, he thought, "I will escape as I did before and shake myself free." But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.
“And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.”
“And she 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.”
“She said, The Philistines are upon you, Samson. And he awoke from his sleep and said, I will go out as at other times and shake myself free. But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him.”
“she said, the Philistines upon you, Samson. Verse 20. And he awoke from his sleep and said, I will go out as at other times and shake myself free. But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him.”
“And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he woke out of his sleep and said, I will go out as at other times before and shake myself. And he wished not that the Lord was departed from him.”
“And she said, that is Delilah, The Philistines are upon you, Samson. So he awoke from his sleep, and he 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 seized him, gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze shackles and forced to grind grain in the prison.
“But the Philistines took him and put out his eyes and brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of brass and he did grind in the prison house.”
“But the Philistines took him and put out his eyes and brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of brass. And he did grind in the prison house.”

“But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass, and he did grind in the prison house.”
22However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
“However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven.”
“However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven.”
“However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.”
“howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.”
“howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.”
“Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again. After that he was shaven.”
23Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon. They rejoiced and said, "Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hands."
“Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon, their God, and to rejoice. And they said, Our God has delivered into our hands Samson, our enemy.”
“Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon, their God, and to rejoice. For they said, Our God has delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hand.”
“Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god and to rejoice, for they said, Our God hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.”
“Now the lords of the Philistines assembled together a great sacrifice to Dagon, their god, and to rejoice, for they said, Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.”
“now the Lords of the Philistines gather together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon, their God, and they rejoice. They said, our God has delivered into our hands Samson, our enemy.”
24And when the people saw him, they praised their god, saying: "Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy who destroyed our land and multiplied our dead."
“When the people saw him, they praised their god, for they said, Our god has given our enemy into our hands, even the destroyer of our country who has slain many of us.”
“When the people saw him, they praised their God, for they said, Our God has delivered into our hands our enemy, the destroyer of our land and the one who multiplied our dead.”

“when the people saw him, they praised their God. For they said, our God has given our enemy into our hands, even the destroyer of our country who has slain many for us.”
25And while their hearts were merry, they said, "Call for Samson to entertain us." So they called Samson out of the prison to entertain them. And they stationed him between the pillars.
“And it came to pass, when their hearts were married, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house, and he made them sport, and they set him between the pillars.”
“It came to pass when their hearts were merry that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house, and he made them sport, and they set him between the pillars.”
“so, it happened that when they were in high spirits that they said, call for Samson that he may amuse us. So they called for Samson from the prison and he entertained them and they made him stand between the pillars.”
26Samson said to the servant who held his hand, "Lead me where I can feel the pillars supporting the temple, so I can lean against them."
“And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.”
“and Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.”
“And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.”
“Then Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand. Let me feel the pillars which support the temple that I may lean on them.”
27Now the temple was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching Samson entertain them.
“Now the house was full of men and women, and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women that beheld while Samson made sport.”
“Now the house was full of men and women and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women that beheld while Samson made sport.”

“Now the house was full of men and women, and all the lords of the Philistines were there, and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women that beheld, while Samson made sport.”
“Now the temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there, about 3 ,000 men and women on the roof watching while Samson performed.”
“Now the temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there. About 3 ,000 men and women on the roof watching while Samson performed.”
28Then Samson called out to the LORD: "O Lord GOD, please remember me. Strengthen me, O God, just once more, so that with one vengeful blow I may pay back the Philistines for my two eyes."
“And Samson called unto the Lord and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
“Then Samson called to the Lord and said, O Lord God, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
“Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
“And Samson called unto the Lord and said, Oh, Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me. I pray thee only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
“And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray Thee, and strengthen me, I pray Thee, only this once, O God, that I may at once avenge, be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
“And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines from my two eyes.”
29And Samson reached out for the two central pillars supporting the temple. Bracing himself against them with his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other,
“And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand and of the other with his left.”
“And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand and of the other with his left.”

“Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood and on which it was born up of the one with his right hand and of the other with his left.”
30Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." Then he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people in it. So in his death he killed more than he had killed in his life.
“And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they…”
“And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines, and he bowed himself with all his might, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were therein, so the dead which he slew at his death were more than they…”

31Then Samson's brothers and his father's family came down, carried him back, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
“And His brothers in all His Father's household came down and took Him and brought Him up and buried Him between Zorah and Eshtol in the tomb of His father Manoah. He had judged Israel 20 years.”
