Judges 15:12 in Context — Judges 15
10 Les hommes de Juda dirent: Pourquoi êtes-vous montés contre nous? Ils répondirent: Nous sommes montés pour lier Samson, afin de le traiter comme il nous a traités.
11 Sur quoi trois mille hommes de Juda descendirent à la caverne du rocher d’Étam, et dirent à Samson: Ne sais-tu pas que les Philistins dominent sur nous? Que nous as-tu donc fait? Il leur répondit: Je les ai traités comme ils m’ont traité.
12 Ils lui dirent: Nous sommes descendus pour te lier, afin de te livrer entre les mains des Philistins. Samson leur dit: Jurez-moi que vous ne me tuerez pas.
13 Ils lui répondirent: Non; nous voulons seulement te lier et te livrer entre leurs mains, mais nous ne te ferons pas mourir. Et ils le lièrent avec deux cordes neuves, et le firent sortir du rocher.
14 Lorsqu’il arriva à Léchi, les Philistins poussèrent des cris à sa rencontre. Alors l’esprit de l’Éternel le saisit. Les cordes qu’il avait aux bras devinrent comme du lin brûlé par le feu, et ses liens tombèrent de ses mains.
