"After these things, he loved a woman who was living in the valley of Sorek. And she was called Delilah."
— Judges 16:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.”
“And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. ”
“It came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.”
“After this Samson fell in love with a woman named Delilah, who lived in the Sorek Valley.”
“After this he loved a woman, who dwelt in the valley of Sorec, and she was called Dalila.”
“Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.”
“And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.”
He also went into Gaza. And there he saw a harlot woman, and he entered to her.
And when the Philistines had heard of this, and it had become well known among them, that Samson had entered the city, they surrounded him, placing guards at the gate of the city. And there they were keeping watch all night in silence, so that, in the morning, they might kill him as he was going out.
But Samson slept until the middle of the night, and rising up from there, he took both doors from the gate, with their posts and bars. And laying them upon his shoulders, he carried them to the top of the hill that looks toward Hebron.
After these things, he loved a woman who was living in the valley of Sorek. And she was called Delilah.
And the leaders of the Philistines went to her, and they said: “Deceive him, and learn from him wherein lies his great strength, and how we may be able to overcome him and to impose restraints on him. And if you will do this, each one of us will give you one thousand one hundred silver coins.”
Therefore, Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me, I beg you, wherein lies your very great strength, and with what might you be bound, so that you could not break free?”
And Samson answered her, “If I will be bound with seven cords, made of sinews not yet dry, but still damp, I will be weak like other men.”
