Samson and Delilah Page #2

To a Philistine woman?

Father, Semadar pleases me.

Go to Tubal of Timnath

And say l will take

his daughter to wife.

The law forbids it.

A Philistine law?

Samson.

Oh, Samson, what will come to you

on the road you're traveling?

A golden-haired wife, little mother,

Who won't beat me with wooden spoons.

Ohh...oh, Samson, Samson,

You're blind.

You turn away from Mirian,

From everything that's good

in your life!

Just because he's seen a woman

at Timnath...

A woman in silks and jewels.

Ohh...

Magnificent.

Ooh, Your rich gifts

Rob me of words, Ahtur.

They'll rob you of a daughter, Tubal,

And enrich me with a wife.

The military governor of Dan

does my house great honor.

Semadar is a fit mate for a soldier.

Now here's a new weave

from the looms of Gaza.

They call it gauze.

Oh, beautiful...

Beautiful!

Take it over to the light.

Semadar.

Semada...

- But you haven't even shown...

- She can throws the javelin...

like the goddess Dictynna.

l'm taking her with me

on the Saran's lion hunt...

With your permission.

Oh, yes, of...of course, of course.

You know, l have another daughter...

Semadar's younger sister.

Oh, unbelievable beauty.

That's a good throw.

But the lion's heart's at the other end.

Have you lost your senses?

The whole hunting party will be here!

The Saran himself is coming from Gaza.

I know, I came to help him kill the lion.

You'd rather help the lion

kill the Saran.

Not until he gives us permission

for our marriage.

Our marriage?

You have lost your senses.

And my heart.

You've whispered that

in a lot of pretty ears.

None as pretty as yours.

My sister does her lion

hunting with plum pits.

Be good, now,

or the game may eat the hunter.

l can't really blame her

for hunting you.

Samson, you are rather like a lion.

Then you should learn more

about lion hunting.

Proud and strong and fearless.

But not very wise.

Ahtur.

Here. l brought a thorn for a rose.

Oh, thank you, Ahtur.

Balances perfectly.

There's only one Danite

fool enough to climb this wall.

The governor of Dan has a hunter's eye.

- l just told Semadar...

- Yes, l heard you.

You'll hunt from my chariot today,

Semadar.

Samson thinks he can help us

kill the lion.

We're very grateful,

But the Lord of the five cities,

whose conquests reach

from the Nile to Babylon,

may succeed without the assistance

of a judge of shepherds.

A shepherd needs to know

more about lions than a king.

His life depends upon it.

A shepherd obeys the law.

His life depends on that.

The first law your fathers learned

was to bow before Philistine spears.

You like to have people

bow to the might of spears.
