Judges 15 The men of Judah tie Samson

 Judges 15

The men of Judah tie Samson

10 And the men of Judah said, Why did you come up against us? And they said, We went up to bind Samson, to do to him as he did to us.

11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the pit of the rock of Ethan, and said to Samson, Did you not know that the Philistines rule over us? why did you do this to us? And he said to them, Just as they did to me, I did to them.

12 And they said to him, We have come down to tie you up, to deliver you into the hands of the Philistines. Then Samson said to them, Swear to me that you yourselves will not affect me.

13 And they spoke to him, saying, No, but we will bind you tightly, and deliver you into his hand; but in no way will we kill you. And they tied him up with two new ropes and made him rise from the rock.
