9 Now the ambush was sitting in the interior room of hers,+ and she began to say to him: “The Phi·lisʹtines+ are upon you, Samson!” At that he tore the sinews in two, just as a twisted thread of tow is torn in two when it smells fire.+ And his power did not become known.+

12 So De·liʹlah took new ropes and tied him with them and said to him: “The Phi·lisʹtines are upon you, Samson!” All the while the ambush was sitting in the interior room.+ At that he tore them in two from off his arms like a thread.+

14 Accordingly she fixed them with the pin,* after which she said to him: “The Phi·lisʹtines are upon you, Samson!”+ So he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the loom pin and the warp thread.
