Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 16:1 ¶ And Samson{gr.Sampson} went to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.

 16:1 ¶ Then went°°° Samson° to Gaza,° and saw°° there° an harlot,°°° and went in°° unto° her.

 16:2 And it was reported to the Gazites, saying, Samson{gr.Sampson} is come hither: and they compassed him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and they were quiet all the night, saying, Let us wait till the dawn appear, and we will slay him.

 16:2 [And it was told] the Gazites,° saying,°° Samson° is come°° hither.° And they compassed° [him] in,°° and laid wait°° for him all° night° in the gate° of the city,° and were quiet°° all° the night,° saying,°° In the morning,° when° it is day,° we shall kill°° him.

 16:3 And Samson{gr.Sampson} slept till midnight, and rose up at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city with the two posts, and lifted them up with the bar, and laid them on his shoulders, and he went up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron{gr.Chebron}, and laid them there.

 16:3 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 an hill° that° [is] before°° Hebron.°

 16:4 ¶ And it came to pass after this that he loved a woman in Alsorech, and her name [was] Delilah{gr.Dalida}.

 16:4 ¶ And it came to pass° afterward,°° that he loved°° a woman° in the valley° of Sorek,° whose name° [was] Delilah.°

 16:5 And the princes of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Beguile him, and see wherein his great strength [is], and wherewith we shall prevail against him, and bind him to humble him; and we will give thee each eleven hundred [pieces] of silver.

 16:5 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 every one° of us eleven hundred°° [pieces] of silver.°

 16:6 ¶ And Delilah{gr.Dalida} said to Samson{gr.Sampson}, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein [is] thy great strength, and wherewith thou shalt be bound that thou mayest be humbled.

 16:6 ¶ And Delilah° said°° to° Samson,° Tell°° me, I pray thee,° wherein° thy great° strength° [lieth], and wherewith° thou mightest be bound°° to afflict°° thee.

 16:7 And Samson{gr.Sampson} said to her, If they bind me with seven moist cords that have not been spoiled, then shall I be weak and be as one of ordinary men.

 16:7 And Samson° said°° unto° her, If° they bind°° me with seven° green° withs° that° were never° dried,°° then shall I be weak,°° and be° as another° man.°

 16:8 And the princes of the Philistines brought to her seven moist cords that had not been spoiled, and she bound him with them.

 16:8 Then the lords° of the Philistines° brought up°° to her seven° green° withs° which° had not° been dried,°° and she bound°° him with them.

 16:9 And the liers in wait remained with her in the chamber; and she said to him, the Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson{gr.Sampson}: and he broke the cords as if any one should break a thread of tow when it has touched the fire, and his strength was not known.

 16:9 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 he brake°°° the withs,° as° a thread° of tow° is broken°° when it toucheth°° the fire.° So his strength° was not° known.°°

 16:10 And Delilah{gr.Dalida} said to Samson{gr.Sampson}, Behold, thou hast cheated me, and told me lies; now then tell me wherewith thou shalt be bound.

 16:10 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.°°

 16:11 And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes with which work has not been done, then shall I be weak, and shall be as another man.

 16:11 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.°

 16:12 And Delilah{gr.Dalida} took new ropes, and bound him with them, and the liers in wait came out of the chamber, and she said, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson{gr.Sampson}: and he broke them off his arms like a thread.

 16:12 Delilah° therefore took°° new° ropes,° and bound°° him therewith, and said°° unto° him, The Philistines° [be] upon° thee, Samson.° And [there were] liers in wait°° abiding°° in the chamber.° And he brake°° them from off°° his arms° like a thread.°

 16:13 And Delilah{gr.Dalida} said to Samson{gr.Sampson}, Behold, thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; tell me, I intreat thee, wherewith thou mayest be bound: and he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web, and shouldest fasten them with the pin into the wall, then shall I be weak as another man.

 16:13 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.°

 16:14 And it came to pass when he was asleep, that Delilah{gr.Dalida} took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with the web, and fastened them with the pin into the wall, and she said, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson{gr.Sampson}: and he awoke out of his sleep, and carried away the pin of the web out of the wall.

 16:14 And she fastened°° [it] with the pin,° and said°° unto° him, The Philistines° [be] upon° thee, Samson.° And he awaked°° out of his sleep,°° and went away°°° with the pin° of the beam,° and with the web.°

 16:15 ¶ And Delilah{gr.Dalida} said to Samson{gr.Sampson}, How sayest thou, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? this third time thou hast deceived me, and hast not told me wherein [is] thy great strength.

 16:15 ¶ 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° [lieth].

 16:16 And it came to pass as she pressed him sore with her words continually, and straitened him, that his spirit failed almost to death.

 16:16 And it came to pass,° when° she pressed°° him daily°° with her words,° and urged°° him, [so] that his soul° was vexed°° unto death;°°

 16:17 Then he told her all his heart, and said to her, A razor has not come upon my head, because I have been a holy [one] of God from my mother's womb; if then I should be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I shall be weak, and I shall be as all [other] men.

 16:17 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 Elohim° from my mother's° womb:°° if° I be shaven,°° then my strength° will go°° from° me, and I shall become weak,°° and be° like any° [other] man.°

 16:18 And Delilah{gr.Dalida} saw that he told her all his heart, and she sent and called the princes of the Philistines, saying, Come up yet this once; for he has told me all his heart. And the chiefs of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their hands.

 16:18 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 shewed°° me° all° his heart.° Then the lords° of the Philistines° came up°° unto° her, and brought°° money° in their hand.°

 16:19 And Delilah{gr.Dalida} made Samson{gr.Sampson} sleep upon her knees; and she called a man, and he shaved the seven locks of his head, and she began to humble him, and his strength departed from him.

 16:19 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.

 16:20 And Delilah{gr.Dalida} said, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson{gr.Sampson}: and he awoke out of his sleep and said, I will go out as at former times, and shake myself; and he knew not that the Lord was departed from him.

 16:20 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° Yahweh° was departed°° from°° him.

 16:21 ¶ And the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he ground in the prison-house.

 16:21 ¶ 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.°

 16:22 And the hair of his head began to grow as before it was shaven.

 16:22 Howbeit the hair° of his head° began°° to grow again°° after° he was shaven.°°

 16:23 And the chiefs of the Philistines met to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to make merry; and they said, God has given into our hand our enemy Samson{gr.Sampson}.

 16:23 Then the lords° of the Philistines° gathered them together°° for to offer°° a great° sacrifice° unto Dagon° their elohim,° and to rejoice:° for they said,°° Our elohim° hath delivered°°° Samson° our enemy°° into our hand.°

 16:24 And the people saw him, and sang praises to their god; for our god, [said they], has delivered into our hand our enemy, who wasted our land, and who multiplied our slain.

 16:24 And when the people° saw°° him, they praised°°° their elohim:° for° they said,°° Our elohim° hath delivered°° into our hands°° our enemy,°° and the destroyer°° of our country,° which° slew° many°°°° of us.

 16:25 And when their heart was merry, then they said, Call Samson{gr.Sampson} out of the prison-house, and let him play before us: and they called Samson{gr.Sampson} out of the prison-house, and he played before them; and they smote him with the palms of their hands, and set him between the pillars.

 16:25 And 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.°

 16:26 And Samson{gr.Sampson} said to the young man that held his hand, Suffer me to feel the pillars on which the house [rests], and I will stay myself upon them.

 16:26 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.

 16:27 And the house [was] full of men and woman, and there were all the chiefs of the Philistines, and on the roof [were] about three thousand men and woman looking at the sports of Samson{gr.Sampson}.

 16:27 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.°°

 16:28 And Samson{gr.Sampson} wept before the Lord, and said, O Lord, my lord, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, O God, yet this once, and I will requite one recompense to the Philistines for my two eyes.

 16:28 And Samson° called°° unto° Yahweh,° and said,°° O Adonai° Yahweh,° remember°° me, I pray thee,° and strengthen°° me, I pray thee,° only° this° once,° O Elohim,° that I may be at once° avenged°°°° of the Philistines°° for my two°° eyes.°

 16:29 And Samson{gr.Sampson} took hold of the two pillars of the house on which the house stood, and leaned on them, and laid hold of one with his right hand, and the other with his left.

 16:29 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.°

 16:30 And Samson{gr.Sampson} said, Let my wife perish with the Philistines: and he bowed himself mightily; and the house fell upon the princes, and upon all the people that were in it: and the dead whom Samson{gr.Sampson} slew in his death were more than those whom he slew in his life.

 16:30 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] which°° he slew°° in his life.°

 16:31 And his brethren and his father's house went down, and they took him; and they went up and buried him between Zorah{gr.Saraa} and Esthaol in the sepulchre of his father Manoah{gr.Manoe}; and he judged Israel twenty years.

 16:31 Then his brethren° and all° the house° of his father° came down,°° and took°° him, and brought [him] up,°° and buried°° him between° Zorah° and Eshtaol° in the buryingplace° of Manoah° his father.° And he° judged°°° Israel° twenty° years.°
