1 Then went Samson to Azzah, and he saw there a harlot, and went into her. 2 And it was told to the Azzathites, Sanson is come hither. And they went about, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city and were quiet all the night, saying: Abide till the morning early, and we shall kill him. 3 And Samson slept till midnight, and rose at midnight and toke the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and lift them away with the bars, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain, that is before Hebron
