Judges 16:1-4

Judges 16:1-4 NCV

One day Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute there. He went in to spend the night with her. When the people of Gaza heard, “Samson has come here!” they surrounded the place and waited for him near the city gate all night. They whispered to each other, “When dawn comes, we will kill Samson!” But Samson only stayed with the prostitute until midnight. Then he got up and took hold of the doors and the two posts of the city gate and tore them loose, along with the bar. He put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces the city of Hebron. After this, Samson fell in love with a woman named Delilah, who lived in the Valley of Sorek.
