Dommerne 16,2

Samson

1 Samson dro til Gaza og så en prostituert der, og han tilbrakte natten med henne.

Folket i Gaza fikk vite, "Samson er her." De omringet stedet og lå i bakhold for ham hele natten ved byporten, og forble stille gjennom natten, og sa: "Ved daggry vil vi drepe ham."

3 Samson lå til midnatt, og så sto han opp og grep dørene til byporten sammen med de to stolpene, og rev dem løs, bjelke og alt. Han la dem på skuldrene og bar dem til toppen av høyden som vender mot Hebron.

4 Noe senere ble han forelsket i en kvinne i Sorekdalen som hette Delila.
