- 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。

- Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
- And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
- And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
- And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
- And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
