Judges 16:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ So she enticed him to fall asleep on her lap, called for a man to shave off his seven locks of hair^[a] from his head, and so began to humiliate him. Then his strength abandoned him.

²⁰ When she cried out, “The Philistines are attacking you, Samson!” he woke from his sleep and told himself,^[b] “I’ll go out like I did at other times like this and shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that the Lord had abandoned him.

Samson is Imprisoned by the Philistines

²¹ Then the Philistines grabbed him, gouged out his eyes, brought him down to Gaza, tied him up in bronze chains,^[c] and made him grind grain in their prison.^[d]
