Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 Then she let him fall asleep on her lap and called a man to shave off the seven braids on his head. In this way, she made him helpless,[a] and his strength left him. 20 Then she cried, “Samson, the Philistines are here!”[b] When he awoke from his sleep, he said, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him.(A)
