07:016:015 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.

07:016:016 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her
           words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

07:016:017 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 be like
           any other man.

07:016:018 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.

07:016:019 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.

07:016:020 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.

07:016:021 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.

07:016:022 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was
           shaven.

07:016:023 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 hath delivered Samson our
           enemy into our hand.

07:016:024 And when the people saw him, they praised their god:  for they
           said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the
           destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.

07:016:025 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.

07:016:026 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.

07:016:027 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.
