Judges 16:3-5
Living Bible
3 Samson stayed in bed with the girl until midnight, then went out to the city gates and lifted them, with the two gateposts, right out of the ground. He put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the mountain across from Hebron!
4 Later on he fell in love with a girl named Delilah over in the valley of Sorek. 5 The five heads of the Philistine nation went personally to her and demanded that she find out from Samson what made him so strong, so that they would know how to overpower and subdue him and put him in chains.
“Each of us will give you a thousand dollars for this job,” they promised.
