Judges 16:19-21

New International Version

¹⁹ After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him.^[a] And his strength left him.^(A)

²⁰ Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!”^(B)

He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him.^(C)

²¹ Then the Philistines^(D) seized him, gouged out his eyes^(E) and took him down to Gaza.^(F) Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain^(G) in the prison.
