When Samson went to Gaza, he saw a prostitute there and entered the place where she lived. (Judges 16, 1)
When the men of Gaza were notified that Samson had come, they made the rounds and lay in wait for him at the city gates. They kept quiet all night, thinking, "We will wait for him until dawn and then we will kill him." (Judges 16, 2)
But Samson slept until midnight. At midnight, he arose and took hold of the door panels of the city gates together with the doorcase, and pulled them up with the bar. He put them upon his shoulders and carried them to the hilltop opposite Hebron. (Judges 16, 3)
After this, Samson fell in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek; she was called Delilah. (Judges 16, 4)
So Delilah asked Samson, "Tell me, please, where do you get such strength and how can others tie you up to subdue you?" (Judges 16, 6)
Samson answered her, "If they bind me with seven new and moist bowstrings, then I shall lose my strength and be as any other man." (Judges 16, 7)
The Philistine chiefs sent seven new bowstrings that had not been dried to Delilah, and she tied Samson with them. (Judges 16, 8)
With men hidden in her dwelling, she shouted, "Samson, here come the Philistines!" Samson broke the bowstrings as if they were burned flax. So they did not find out where his great strength came from. (Judges 16, 9)
Then Delilah said to Samson, "You made a fool of me, and you lied to me. Tell me, how can they subdue you?" (Judges 16, 10)
Samson answered her, "If they bind me this time with seven newly-braided ropes which have never been used, then I shall lose my strength and be like any other man." (Judges 16, 11)
She lulled him to sleep, and then braided the seven locks of his hair in the warp of the loom and tightened it with a pin. Then she cried, "Here come the Philistines!" Samson woke up and pulled the warp with the locks of his hair. And so, Delilah did not find out where his great strength came from. (Judges 16, 14)
And as Delilah insisted and bothered him day after day with her questions, the time came when Samson felt he would die in disgust. (Judges 16, 16)
