Juízes 16:1-3

1 Sansão foi a Gaza, e viu ali uma prostituta, e entrou a ela.
2 E foi dito aos gazitas: Sansão entrou aqui. Cercaram-no, pois, e de emboscada � porta da cidade o esperaram toda a noite; assim ficaram quietos a noite toda, dizendo: Quando raiar o dia, matá-lo-emos.
3 Mas Sansão deitou-se até a meia-noite; então, levantando-se, pegou nas portas da entrada da cidade, com ambos os umbrais, arrancou-as juntamente com a tranca e, pondo-as sobre os ombros, levou-as até o cume do monte que está defronte de Hebrom.

Juízes 16:1-3 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JUDGES 16

In this chapter we have an account of Samson's too great familiarity with two harlots; by the one he was brought into great danger, and narrowly escaped, Jud 16:1-3, and by the other he was betrayed into the hands of the Philistines, having got the secret out of him wherein his great strength lay, Jud 16:4-20 who having him in their hands, put out his eyes, imprisoned him, and in their idol temple made sport of him, Jud 16:21-25, where praying for renewed strength from the Lord, he pulled down the temple, and destroyed multitudes with the loss of his own life, Jud 16:26-31.
