3Samson lay until midnight, then arose at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, with the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
4It came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
