Then went Samson to [a]Gaza, and saw there [b]an harlot, [c]and went in unto her.

And it was told to the Gazites, Samson is come hither. And they went about, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, Abide [d]till the morning early, and we shall kill him.
