And he saidH559 unto them, Out of the eaterH398 came forthH3318 meatH3978, and out of the strongH5794 came forthH3318 sweetnessH4966. And they couldH3201 not in threeH7969 daysH3117 expoundH5046 the riddleH2420.
And it came to pass, whileH3117 the arkH727 abodeH3427 in KirjathjearimH7157, that the timeH3117 was longH7235; for it was twentyH6242 yearsH8141: and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 lamentedH5091 afterH310 the LORDH3068.
And SamuelH8050 spakeH559 unto all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, If ye do returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 with all your heartsH3824, then put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 and AshtarothH6252 from amongH8432 you, and prepareH3559 your heartsH3824 unto the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him only: and he will deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
Then the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did put awayH5493 BaalimH1168 and AshtarothH6252, and servedH5647 the LORDH3068 only.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, GatherH6908 all IsraelH3478 to MizpehH4708, and I will prayH6419 for you unto the LORDH3068.
And they gathered togetherH6908 to MizpehH4709, and drewH7579 waterH4325, and poured it outH8210 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and fastedH6684 on that dayH3117, and saidH559 there, We have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. And SamuelH8050 judgedH8199 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in MizpehH4708.
And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were gathered togetherH6908 to MizpehH4708, the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 went upH5927 against IsraelH3478. And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 it, they were afraidH3372 ofH6440 the PhilistinesH6430.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, CeaseH2790 not to cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430 for us, that he will saveH3467 us out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. {Cease…: Heb. Be not silent from us from crying}
And SamuelH8050 tookH3947 aH259 suckingH2461 lambH2924, and offeredH5927 it for a burnt offeringH5930 whollyH3632 unto the LORDH3068: and SamuelH8050 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 for IsraelH3478; and the LORDH3068 heardH6030 him. {heard: or, answered}
And as SamuelH8050 was offering upH5927 the burnt offeringH5930, the PhilistinesH6430 drew nearH5066 to battleH4421 against IsraelH3478: but the LORDH3068 thunderedH7481 with a greatH1419 thunderH6963 on that dayH3117 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and discomfitedH2000 them; and they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478.
And the menH582 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318 of MizpehH4709, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, and smoteH5221 them, until they came under BethcarH1033.
Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947 aH259 stoneH68, and setH7760 it between MizpehH4709 and ShenH8129, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it EbenezerH72, sayingH559, Hitherto hath the LORDH3068 helpedH5826 us. {Ebenezer: that is, The stone of help}
So the PhilistinesH6430 were subduedH3665, and they cameH935 no moreH3254 into the coastH1366 of IsraelH3478: and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was against the PhilistinesH6430 all the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050.
And the citiesH5892 which the PhilistinesH6430 had takenH3947 from IsraelH3478 were restoredH7725 to IsraelH3478, from EkronH6138 even unto GathH1661; and the coastsH1366 thereof did IsraelH3478 deliverH5337 out of the handsH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. And there was peaceH7965 between IsraelH3478 and the AmoritesH567.
ButG235 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the foolish thingsG3474 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the wiseG4680; andG2532 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the weak thingsG772 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the things which are mightyG2478;
AndG2532 base thingsG36 of the worldG2889, andG2532 things which are despisedG1848, hathG1586 GodG2316 chosenG1586, yea, andG2532 things whichG3588 areG5607 notG3361, toG2443 bring to noughtG2673 things that areG5607:
ThatG3704 noG3361+G3956 fleshG4561 should gloryG2744 in his presenceG1799+G846.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
QuenchedG4570 the violenceG1411 of fireG4442, escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, out ofG575 weaknessG769 were made strongG1743, waxedG1096 valiantG2478 inG1722 fightG4171, turned to flightG2827 the armiesG3925 of the aliensG245.
ForG1063+G2532 thoughG1487 he was crucifiedG4717 throughG1537 weaknessG769, yetG235 he livethG2198 byG1537 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. ForG1063 weG2249 alsoG2532 are weakG770 inG1722 himG846, butG235 we shall liveG2198 withG4862 himG846 byG1537 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 towardG1519 youG5209. {in him: or, with him}
And BalaamH1109 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and he sawH7200 IsraelH3478 abidingH7931 in his tents according to their tribesH7626; and the spiritH7307 of GodH430 came upon him.
AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 the timeG5550 would failG1952 meG3165 to tellG1334 ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG2532, andG5037 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG4396:
Then sangH7891 DeborahH1683 and BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 on that dayH3117, sayingH559,
PraiseH1288 ye the LORDH3068 for the avengingH6544+H6546 of IsraelH3478, when the peopleH5971 willingly offeredH5068 themselves.
HearH8085, O ye kingsH4428; give earH238, O ye princesH7336; I, even I, will singH7891 unto the LORDH3068; I will singH2167 praise to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
LORDH3068, when thou wentest outH3318 of SeirH8165, when thou marchedst outH6805 of the fieldH7704 of EdomH123, the earthH776 trembledH7493, and the heavensH8064 droppedH5197, the cloudsH5645 also droppedH5197 waterH4325.
The mountainsH2022 meltedH5140 from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, even that SinaiH5514 from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. {melted: Heb. flowed}
In the daysH3117 of ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, in the daysH3117 of JaelH3278, the highwaysH734 were unoccupiedH2308, and the travellersH1980 walkedH3212 through bywaysH6128+H5410. {travellers: Heb. walkers of paths} {byways: Heb. crooked ways}
The inhabitants of the villagesH6520 ceasedH2308, they ceasedH2308 in IsraelH3478, until that I DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, that I aroseH6965 a motherH517 in IsraelH3478.
They choseH977 newH2319 godsH430; then was warH3901 in the gatesH8179: was there a shieldH4043 or spearH7420 seenH7200 among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478?
My heartH3820 is toward the governorsH2710 of IsraelH3478, that offered themselves willinglyH5068 among the peopleH5971. BlessH1288 ye the LORDH3068.
SpeakH7878, ye that rideH7392 on whiteH6715 assesH860, ye that sitH3427 in judgmentH4055, and walkH1980 by the wayH1870. {Speak: or, Meditate}
They that are delivered from the noiseH6963 of archersH2686 in the places of drawing waterH4857, there shall they rehearseH8567 the righteous actsH6666 of the LORDH3068, even the righteous actsH6666 toward the inhabitants of his villagesH6520 in IsraelH3478: then shall the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 go downH3381 to the gatesH8179. {righteous…: Heb. righteousnesses}
AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, DeborahH1683: awakeH5782, awakeH5782, utterH1696 a songH7892: ariseH6965, BarakH1301, and lead thy captivityH7628 captiveH7617, thou sonH1121 of AbinoamH42.
Then he made him that remainethH8300 have dominionH7287 over the noblesH117 among the peopleH5971: the LORDH3068 made me have dominionH7287 over the mightyH1368.
Out of EphraimH669 was there a rootH8328 of them against AmalekH6002; afterH310 thee, BenjaminH1144, among thy peopleH5971; out of MachirH4353 came downH3381 governorsH2710, and out of ZebulunH2074 they that handleH4900 the penH7626 of the writerH5608. {handle: Heb. draw with}
And the princesH8269 of IssacharH3485 were with DeborahH1683; even IssacharH3485, and also BarakH1301: he was sentH7971 on footH7272 into the valleyH6010. For the divisionsH6390 of ReubenH7205 there were greatH1419 thoughtsH2711 of heartH3820. {foot: Heb. his feet} {thoughts: Heb. impressions} {For: or, In}
Why abodestH3427 thou amongH996 the sheepfoldsH4942, to hearH8085 the bleatingsH8292 of the flocksH5739? For the divisionsH6390 of ReubenH7205 there were greatH1419 searchingsH2714 of heartH3820. {For: or, In}
GileadH1568 abodeH7931 beyondH5676 JordanH3383: and why did DanH1835 remainH1481 in shipsH591? AsherH836 continuedH3427 on the seaH3220 shoreH2348, and abodeH7931 in his breachesH4664. {shore: or, port} {breaches: or, creeks}
ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321 were a peopleH5971 that jeopardedH2778 their livesH5315 unto the deathH4191 in the high placesH4791 of the fieldH7704. {jeoparded: Heb. exposed to reproach}
The kingsH4428 cameH935 and foughtH3898, then foughtH3898 the kingsH4428 of CanaanH3667 in TaanachH8590 by the watersH4325 of MegiddoH4023; they tookH3947 no gainH1215 of moneyH3701.
They foughtH3898 from heavenH8064; the starsH3556 in their coursesH4546 foughtH3898 against SiseraH5516. {courses: Heb. paths}
The riverH5158 of KishonH7028 swept them awayH1640, that ancientH6917 riverH5158, the riverH5158 KishonH7028. O my soulH5315, thou hast trodden downH1869 strengthH5797.
Then were the horsehoofsH6119+H5483 brokenH1986 by the means of the pransingsH1726, the pransingsH1726 of their mighty onesH47. {pransings: or, tramplings, or, plungings}
CurseH779 ye MerozH4789, saidH559 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, curseH779 ye bitterlyH779 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; because they cameH935 not to the helpH5833 of the LORDH3068, to the helpH5833 of the LORDH3068 against the mightyH1368.
BlessedH1288 above womenH802 shall JaelH3278 the wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017 be, blessedH1288 shall she be above womenH802 in the tentH168.
He askedH7592 waterH4325, and she gaveH5414 him milkH2461; she brought forthH7126 butterH2529 in a lordlyH117 dishH5602.
She putH7971 her handH3027 to the nailH3489, and her right handH3225 to the workmen'sH6001 hammerH1989; and with the hammer she smoteH1986 SiseraH5516, she smote offH4277 his headH7218, when she had piercedH4272 and stricken throughH2498 his templesH7541. {with…: Heb. she hammered}
At her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307, he lay downH7901: at her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307: whereH834 he bowedH3766, there he fell downH5307 deadH7703. {At: Heb. Between} {dead: Heb. destroyed}
The motherH517 of SiseraH5516 lookedH8259 out at a windowH2474, and criedH2980 through the latticeH822, Why is his chariotH7393 so longH954 in comingH935? why tarryH309 the wheelsH6471 of his chariotsH4818?
Her wiseH2450 ladiesH8282 answeredH6030 her, yea, she returnedH7725 answerH561 to herself, {answer: Heb. her words}
Have they not spedH4672? have they not dividedH2505 the preyH7998; to everyH7218 manH1397 a damselH7356 or twoH7361; to SiseraH5516 a preyH7998 of divers coloursH6648, a preyH7998 of divers coloursH6648 of needleworkH7553, of divers coloursH6648 of needlework on both sidesH7553, meet for the necksH6677 of them that take the spoilH7998? {every…: Heb. the head of a man}
So let all thine enemiesH341 perishH6, O LORDH3068: but let them that loveH157 him be as the sunH8121 when he goeth forthH3318 in his mightH1369. And the landH776 had restH8252 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
And when GideonH1439 was comeH935, behold, there was a manH376 that toldH5608 a dreamH2472 unto his fellowH7453, and saidH559, Behold, I dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and, lo, a cakeH6742+H6742 of barleyH8184 breadH3899 tumbledH2015 into the hostH4264 of MidianH4080, and cameH935 unto a tentH168, and smoteH5221 it that it fellH5307, and overturnedH2015+H4605 it, that the tentH168 lay alongH5307.
As soonG5613 thenG3767 as he had saidG2036 unto themG846+G3754, IG1473 amG1510 he, they wentG565 backwardG1519+G3694, andG2532 fellG4098 to the groundG5476.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When either manH376 or womanH802 shall separateH6381 themselves to vowH5087 a vowH5088 of a NazariteH5139, to separateH5144 themselves unto the LORDH3068: {to separate…: or, to make themselves Nazarites}
He shall separateH5144 himself from wineH3196 and strong drinkH7941, and shall drinkH8354 no vinegarH2558 of wineH3196, or vinegarH2558 of strong drinkH7941, neither shall he drinkH8354 any liquorH4952 of grapesH6025, nor eatH398 moistH3892 grapesH6025, or driedH3002.
All the daysH3117 of his separationH5145 shall he eatH398 nothing that is madeH6213 of the vineH3196 treeH1612, from the kernelsH2785 even to the huskH2085. {separation: or, Nazariteship} {vine…: Heb. vine of the wine}
All the daysH3117 of the vowH5088 of his separationH5145 there shall no razorH8593 comeH5674 upon his headH7218: until the daysH3117 be fulfilledH4390, in the which he separatethH5144 himself unto the LORDH3068, he shall be holyH6918, and shall let the locksH6545 of the hairH8181 of his headH7218 growH1431.
All the daysH3117 that he separatethH5144 himself unto the LORDH3068 he shall comeH935 at no deadH4191 bodyH5315.
He shall not make himself uncleanH2930 for his fatherH1, or for his motherH517, for his brotherH251, or for his sisterH269, when they dieH4194: because the consecrationH5145 of his GodH430 is upon his headH7218. {consecration: Heb. separation}
All the daysH3117 of his separationH5145 he is holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068.
And if any manH4191 dieH4191 veryH6621 suddenlyH6597 by him, and he hath defiledH2930 the headH7218 of his consecrationH5145; then he shall shaveH1548 his headH7218 in the dayH3117 of his cleansingH2893, on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 shall he shaveH1548 it.
And on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he shall bringH935 twoH8147 turtlesH8449, or twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123, to the priestH3548, to the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150:
And the priestH3548 shall offerH6213 the oneH259 for a sin offeringH2403, and the otherH259 for a burnt offeringH5930, and make an atonementH3722 for him, for thatH834 he sinnedH2398 by the deadH5315, and shall hallowH6942 his headH7218 that same dayH3117.
And he shall consecrateH5144 unto the LORDH3068 the daysH3117 of his separationH5145, and shall bringH935 a lambH3532 of the firstH1121 yearH8141 for a trespass offeringH817: but the daysH3117 that were beforeH7223 shall be lostH5307, because his separationH5145 was defiledH2930. {be lost: Heb. fall}
And this is the lawH8451 of the NazariteH5139, whenH3117 the daysH3117 of his separationH5145 are fulfilledH4390: he shall be broughtH935 unto the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150:
And he shall offerH7126 his offeringH7133 unto the LORDH3068, oneH259 he lambH3532 of the firstH1121 yearH8141 without blemishH8549 for a burnt offeringH5930, and oneH259 ewe lambH3535 of the firstH1323 yearH8141 without blemishH8549 for a sin offeringH2403, and oneH259 ramH352 without blemishH8549 for peace offeringsH8002,
And a basketH5536 of unleavened breadH4682, cakesH2471 of fine flourH5560 mingledH1101 with oilH8081, and wafersH7550 of unleavened breadH4682 anointedH4886 with oilH8081, and their meat offeringH4503, and their drink offeringsH5262.
And the priestH3548 shall bringH7126 them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and shall offerH6213 his sin offeringH2403, and his burnt offeringH5930:
And he shall offerH6213 the ramH352 for a sacrificeH2077 of peace offeringsH8002 unto the LORDH3068, with the basketH5536 of unleavened breadH4682: the priestH3548 shall offerH6213 also his meat offeringH4503, and his drink offeringH5262.
And the NazariteH5139 shall shaveH1548 the headH7218 of his separationH5145 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and shall takeH3947 the hairH8181 of the headH7218 of his separationH5145, and putH5414 it in the fireH784 which is under the sacrificeH2077 of the peace offeringsH8002.
And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the soddenH1311 shoulderH2220 of the ramH352, and oneH259 unleavenedH4682 cakeH2471 out of the basketH5536, and oneH259 unleavenedH4682 waferH7550, and shall putH5414 them upon the handsH3709 of the NazariteH5139, afterH310 the hair of his separationH5145 is shavenH1548:
And the priestH3548 shall waveH5130 them for a wave offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: this is holyH6944 for the priestH3548, with the waveH8573 breastH2373 and heaveH8641 shoulderH7785: and afterH310 that the NazariteH5139 may drinkH8354 wineH3196.
This is the lawH8451 of the NazariteH5139 who hath vowedH5087, and of his offeringH7133 unto the LORDH3068 for his separationH5145, beside that that his handH3027 shall getH5381: accordingH6310 to the vowH5088 which he vowedH5087, so he must doH6213 after the lawH8451 of his separationH5145.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 and unto his sonsH1121, sayingH559, On this wiseH3541 ye shall blessH1288 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559 unto them,
The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, and keepH8104 thee:
The LORDH3068 make his faceH6440 shineH215 upon thee, and be graciousH2603 unto thee:
The LORDH3068 lift upH5375 his countenanceH6440 upon thee, and giveH7760 thee peaceH7965.
And they shall putH7760 my nameH8034 upon the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and I will blessH1288 them.
AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 the timeG5550 would failG1952 meG3165 to tellG1334 ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG2532, andG5037 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG4396:
WhenG3752 a strong manG2478 armedG2528 keepethG5442 hisG833 palaceG1438, hisG846 goodsG5224 areG2076 inG1722 peaceG1515:
ButG1161 whenG1875 a strongerG2478 than heG846 shall come upon himG1904, and overcomeG3528 himG846, he takethG142 from himG846 all his armourG3833 whereinG1909+G3739 he trustedG3982, andG2532 dividethG1239 hisG846 spoilsG4661.
BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 youG5209 forthG649 asG5613 sheepG4263 inG1722 the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074: be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 wiseG5429 asG5613 serpentsG3789, andG2532 harmlessG185 asG5613 dovesG4058. {harmless: or, simple}
ButG1161 bewareG4337 ofG575 menG444: forG1063 they will deliverG3860 youG5209 upG3860 toG1519 the councilsG4892, andG2532 they will scourgeG3146 youG5209 inG1722 theirG846 synagoguesG4864;
AndG2532 ye shall be broughtG71 beforeG1909 governorsG2232 andG2532+G1161 kingsG935 for myG1752 sakeG1700, forG1519 a testimonyG3142 against themG846 andG2532 the GentilesG1484.
ButG1161 whenG3752 they deliverG3860 youG5209 upG3860, takeG3309 noG3361 thoughtG3309 howG4459 orG2228 whatG5101 ye shall speakG2980: forG1063 it shall be givenG1325 youG5213 inG1722 that sameG1565 hourG5610 whatG5101 ye shall speakG2980.
Are yeG2075 soG3779 foolishG453? having begunG1728 in the SpiritG4151, are yeG2005 nowG3568 made perfectG2005 by the fleshG4561?
Then wentH3212 SamsonH8123 to GazaH5804, and sawH7200 there an harlotH802+H2181, and went inH935 unto her. {harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}
And it was told the GazitesH5841, sayingH559, SamsonH8123 is comeH935 hither. And they compassed him inH5437, and laid waitH693 for him all nightH3915 in the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and were quietH2790 all the nightH3915, sayingH559, In the morningH1242, when it is dayH216, we shall killH2026 him. {quiet: Heb. silent}
And SamsonH8123 layH7901 till midnightH2677+H3915, and aroseH6965 at midnightH2677+H3915, and tookH270 the doorsH1817 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and the twoH8147 postsH4201, and went awayH5265 with them, barH1280 and all, and putH7760 them upon his shouldersH3802, and carried them upH5927 to the topH7218 of an hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 HebronH2275. {bar…: Heb. with the bar}
And it came to pass afterwardH310, that he lovedH157 a womanH802 in the valleyH5158 of SorekH7796, whose nameH8034 was DelilahH1807. {in…: or, by the brook}
And the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 unto her, and saidH559 unto her, EnticeH6601 him, and seeH7200 wherein his greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth, and by what means we may prevailH3201 against him, that we may bindH631 him to afflictH6031 him: and we will giveH5414 thee every oneH376 of us eleven hundredH505+H3967 pieces of silverH3701. {afflict: or, humble}
And DelilahH1807 saidH559 to SamsonH8123, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, wherein thy greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be boundH631 to afflictH6031 thee.
And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto her, If they bindH631 me with sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 that were never driedH2717, then shall I be weakH2470, and be as anotherH259 manH120. {green…: or, new cords: Heb. moist} {another: Heb. one}
Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 brought upH5927 to her sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 which had not been driedH2717, and she boundH631 him with them. {green…: or, new cords: Heb. moist}
Now there were men lying in waitH693, abidingH3427 with her in the chamberH2315. And she saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he brakeH5423 the withsH3499, as a threadH6616 of towH5296 is brokenH5423 when it touchethH7306 the fireH784. So his strengthH3581 was not knownH3045. {toucheth: Heb. smelleth}
And DelilahH1807 saidH559 unto SamsonH8123, Behold, thou hast mockedH2048 me, and toldH1696 me liesH3577: now tellH5046 me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be boundH631.
And he saidH559 unto her, If they bindH631 me fastH631 with newH2319 ropesH5688 that never were occupiedH4399+H6213, then shall I be weakH2470, and be as anotherH259 manH120. {that never…: Heb. wherewith work hath not been done}
DelilahH1807 therefore tookH3947 newH2319 ropesH5688, and boundH631 him therewith, and saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And there were liers in waitH693 abidingH3427 in the chamberH2315. And he brakeH5423 them from off his armsH2220 like a threadH2339.
And DelilahH1807 saidH559 unto SamsonH8123, HithertoH2008 thou hast mockedH2048 me, and toldH1696 me liesH3577: tellH5046 me wherewith thou mightest be boundH631. And he saidH559 unto her, If thou weavestH707 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of my headH7218 with the webH4545.
And she fastenedH8628 it with the pinH3489, and saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awakedH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and went awayH5265 with the pinH3489 of the beamH708, and with the webH4545.
And she saidH559 unto him, HowH349 canst thou sayH559, I loveH157 thee, when thine heartH3820 is not with me? thou hast mockedH2048 me these threeH7969 timesH6471, and hast not toldH5046 me wherein thy greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth.
And it came to pass, when she pressedH6693 him dailyH3117 with her wordsH1697, and urgedH509 him, so that his soulH5315 was vexedH7114 unto deathH4191; {vexed: Heb. shortened}
That he toldH5046 her all his heartH3820, and saidH559 unto her, There hath not comeH5927 a razorH4177 upon mine headH7218; for I have been a NazariteH5139 unto GodH430 from my mother'sH517 wombH990: if I be shavenH1548, then my strengthH3581 will goH5493 from me, and I shall become weakH2470, and be like any other manH120.
And when DelilahH1807 sawH7200 that he had toldH5046 her all his heartH3820, she sentH7971 and calledH7121 for the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, sayingH559, Come upH5927 this onceH6471, for he hath shewedH5046 me all his heartH3820. Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 unto her, and broughtH5927 moneyH3701 in their handH3027.
And she made him sleepH3462 upon her kneesH1290; and she calledH7121 for a manH376, and she caused him to shave offH1548 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of his headH7218; and she beganH2490 to afflictH6031 him, and his strengthH3581 wentH5493 from him.
And she saidH559, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awokeH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and saidH559, I will go outH3318 as at other times beforeH6471, and shakeH5287 myself. And he wistH3045 not that the LORDH3068 was departedH5493 from him.
But the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270 him, and put outH5365 his eyesH5869, and brought him downH3381 to GazaH5804, and boundH631 him with fetters of brassH5178; and he did grindH2912 in the prisonH631 houseH1004. {put out: Heb. bored out}
Howbeit the hairH8181 of his headH7218 beganH2490 to grow againH6779 afterH834 he was shavenH1548. {after…: or, as when he was shaven}
Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 gathered them togetherH622 for to offerH2076 a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 unto DagonH1712 their godH430, and to rejoiceH8057: for they saidH559, Our godH430 hath deliveredH5414 SamsonH8123 our enemyH341 into our handH3027.
And when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 him, they praisedH1984 their godH430: for they saidH559, Our godH430 hath deliveredH5414 into our handsH3027 our enemyH341, and the destroyerH2717 of our countryH776, which slewH2491 manyH7235 of us. {which…: Heb. and who multiplied our slain}
And it came to pass, when their heartsH3820 were merryH2896, that they saidH559, CallH7121 for SamsonH8123, that he may make us sportH7832. And they calledH7121 for SamsonH8123 out of the prisonH631 houseH1004; and he made themH6440 sportH6711: and they setH5975 him between the pillarsH5982. {them: Heb. before them}
And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto the ladH5288 that heldH2388 him by the handH3027, SufferH3240 me that I may feelH4184+H3237 the pillarsH5982 whereupon the houseH1004 standethH3559, that I may leanH8172 upon them.
Now the houseH1004 was fullH4390 of menH582 and womenH802; and all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 were there; and there were upon the roofH1406 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802, that beheldH7200 while SamsonH8123 made sportH7832.
And SamsonH8123 calledH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, rememberH2142 me, I pray thee, and strengthenH2388 me, I pray thee, only this onceH6471, O GodH430, that I may be at onceH259 avengedH5358+H5359 of the PhilistinesH6430 for my twoH8147 eyesH5869.
And SamsonH8123 took holdH3943 of the twoH8147 middleH8432 pillarsH5982 upon which the houseH1004 stoodH3559, and on which it was borne upH5564, of the oneH259 with his right handH3225, and of the otherH259 with his leftH8040. {on which…: or, he leaned on them}
And SamsonH8123 saidH559, Let me dieH4191+H5315 with the PhilistinesH6430. And he bowedH5186 himself with all his mightH3581; and the houseH1004 fellH5307 upon the lordsH5633, and upon all the peopleH5971 that were therein. So the deadH4191 which he slewH4191 at his deathH4194 were moreH7227 than they which he slewH4191 in his lifeH2416. {me: Heb. my soul}
Then his brethrenH251 and all the houseH1004 of his fatherH1 came downH3381, and tookH5375 him, and brought him upH5927, and buriedH6912 him between ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847 in the buryingplaceH6913 of ManoahH4495 his fatherH1. And he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 twentyH6242 yearsH8141.
RememberG3421 them which have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, whoG3748 have spokenG2980 unto youG5213 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: whoseG3739 faithG4102 followG3401, consideringG333 the endG1545 of their conversationG391. {have the rule: or, are the guides}
ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 were boundH3729 in their coatsH5622, their hosenH6361+H6361, and their hatsH3737, and their other garmentsH3831, and were castH7412 into the midstH1459 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861. {coats: or, mantles} {hats: or, turbans}
He answeredH6032 and saidH560, LoH1888, IH576 seeH2370 fourH703 menH1400 looseH8271, walkingH1981 in the midstH1459 of the fireH5135, and they haveH383 noH3809 hurtH2257; and the formH7299 of the fourthH7244 is likeH1821 the SonH1247 of GodH426. {they…: Cald. there is no hurt in them}
But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strangeH5237 womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, women of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, ZidoniansH6722, and HittitesH2850; {together…: or, beside}
Of the nationsH1471 concerning which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall not go inH935 to them, neither shall they come inH935 unto you: for surelyH403 they will turn awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 claveH1692 unto these in loveH157.
And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370: and his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3820.
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {went…: Heb. fulfilled not after}
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
Did not SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sinH2398 by these things? yet among manyH7227 nationsH1471 was there no kingH4428 like him, who was belovedH157 of his GodH430, and GodH430 madeH5414 him kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478: nevertheless even himH1571 did outlandishH5237 womenH802 cause to sinH2398.
AndG1161 hereinG1722+G5129 do I exerciseG778 myselfG846, to haveG2192 alwaysG1275 a conscienceG4893 void of offenceG677 towardG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 toward menG444.
HoldingG2192 faithG4102, andG2532 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; whichG3739 someG5100 having put awayG683 concerningG4012 faithG4102 have made shipwreckG3489:
HoldingG2192 the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 inG1722 a pureG2513 conscienceG4893.
HoldingG2192 faithG4102, andG2532 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; whichG3739 someG5100 having put awayG683 concerningG4012 faithG4102 have made shipwreckG3489:
He shall drinkH8354 of the brookH5158 in the wayH1870: therefore shall he lift upH7311 the headH7218.
MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732. PreserveH8104 me, O GodH410: for in thee do I put my trustH2620. {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm}
I have setH7737 the LORDH3068 alwaysH8548 before me: because he is at my right handH3225, I shall not be movedH4131.
He trustedH1556 on the LORDH3068 that he would deliverH6403 him: let him deliverH5337 him, seeing he delightedH2654 in him. {He trusted…: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing…: or, if he delight in}
But thou art he that tookH1518 me out of the wombH990: thou didst make me hopeH982 when I was upon my mother'sH517 breastsH7699. {didst…: or, kept me in safety}
I was castH7993 upon thee from the wombH7358: thou art my GodH410 from my mother'sH517 bellyH990.
Be not farH7368 from me; for troubleH6869 is nearH7138; for there is none to helpH5826. {none…: Heb. not a helper}
For he hath not despisedH959 nor abhorredH8262 the afflictionH6039 of the afflictedH6041; neither hath he hidH5641 his faceH6440 from him; but when he criedH7768 unto him, he heardH8085.
AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 willG2071 put my trustG3982 inG1909 himG846. AndG2532 againG3825, BeholdG2400 IG1473 andG2532 the childrenG3813 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 meG3427.
LookingG872 untoG1519 JesusG2424 the authorG747 andG2532 finisherG5051 of our faithG4102; whoG3739 forG473 the joyG5479 that was set beforeG4295 himG846 enduredG5278 the crossG4716, despisingG2706 the shameG152, andG5037 is set downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of GodG2316. {author: or, beginner}
