- Then 3,000 men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so I have done to them."
- They said to him, "We have come down to bind you so that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me."
- So they said to him, "No, but we will bind you fast and give you into their hands; yet surely we will not kill you." Then they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
- When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily so that the ropes that were on his arms were as flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds dropped from his hands.
- He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he reached out and took it and killed a thousand men with it.

- 於是有三千猶大人下到以坦磐的穴內、對參孫說、非利士人轄制我們、你不知道麼.你向我們行的是甚麼事呢。他回答說、他們向我怎樣行、我也要向他們怎樣行。
- 猶大人對他說、我們下來是要捆綁你、將你交在非利士人手中.參孫說、你們要向我起誓、應承你們自己不害死我。
- 他們說、我們斷不殺你、只要將你捆綁交在非利士人手中.於是用兩條新繩捆綁參孫、將他從以坦磐帶上去。
- 參孫到了利希、非利士人都迎著喧嚷.耶和華的靈大大感動參孫、他臂上的繩就像火燒的麻一樣、他的綁繩都從他手上脫落下來。
- 他見一塊未乾的驢腮骨、就伸手拾起來用以擊殺一千人。
