Judges 16:1-4

Judges 16:1-4 AMP

Then Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute there, and went in to her. The Gazites were told, “Samson has come here.” So they surrounded the place and waited all night at the gate of the city to ambush him. They kept quiet all night, saying, “In the morning, when it is light, we will kill him.” But Samson lay [resting] until midnight, then at midnight he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two door-posts, and pulled them up, [security] bar and all, and he put them on his shoulders and carried them up to the top of the hill which is opposite Hebron. After this he fell in love with a [Philistine] woman [living] in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
