Judges 16:1-3

Lexham English Bible

Samson and Delilah

16 Samson went down to Gaza; there he saw a prostitute and had sex with her.^{[a] 2} The Gazites were told, “Samson has come here,” so they surrounded the place and lay in ambush for him all night at the city gate. They kept silent all night, saying, “We will wait until the morning light, and then we will kill him.” ³ But Samson lay until the middle of the night; he got up in the middle of the night and took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two door posts, tore them loose with the bar, put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the hill that is in front of^[b] Hebron.
