Judges 15:10-13
Living Bible
10 “Why have you come here?” the men of Judah asked.
And the Philistines replied, “To capture Samson and do to him as he has done to us.”
11 So three thousand men of Judah went down to get Samson at the cave in the rock of Etam.
“What are you doing to us?” they demanded of him. “Don’t you realize that the Philistines are our rulers?”
But Samson replied, “I only paid them back for what they did to me.”
12-13 “We have come to capture you and take you to the Philistines,” the men of Judah told him.
“All right,” Samson said, “but promise me that you won’t kill me yourselves.”
“No,” they replied, “we won’t do that.”
So they tied him with two new ropes and led him away.

10 The people of Judah asked, “Why have you come to fight us?”
“We have come to take Samson prisoner,” they answered, “to do to him as he did to us.”
11 Then three thousand men from Judah went down to the cave in the rock of Etam and said to Samson, “Don’t you realize that the Philistines are rulers over us?(A) What have you done to us?”
He answered, “I merely did to them what they did to me.”
12 They said to him, “We’ve come to tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines.”
Samson said, “Swear to me(B) that you won’t kill me yourselves.”
