Translation: son of Manoah,[1] judge of the Hebrews, a mighty man. Now in the beginning this man prevailed over his bodily pleasures, and he ruled over his enemies; but when he was weakened in the mind by Delilah the harlot,[2] and at the same time degenerated in both self-control and strength, bound by his enemies, he was carried off to Gaza, deprived of his sight, and handed over to grind in the mill-house.[3] But he was destroyed along with his enemies when he fell upon the pillars of the temple, saying, "Let Samson depart [from life] with his enemies." So that is how Samson died, having been judge of the people for 20 years.
