Judges 15:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² The men of Judah said to him, ‘We have come to tie you up as our prisoner. We must let the Philistines take you away.’

Samson said, ‘Promise me that you will not kill me yourselves.’

¹³ They said, ‘We agree. We will only tie you up and give you to them. We promise that we will not kill you.’

So they tied him up with two new ropes. They took him with them away from the cave.

¹⁴ When they arrived at Lehi, the Philistine soldiers shouted happily as they came towards him. But the Lord's Spirit gave Samson great strength. The ropes that tied his arms broke in pieces. They seemed as weak as grass that burns in a fire. They fell from his hands.
