Samson and Delilah Page #3

Synopsis: Though his people, the Israelites, are enslaved by the Philistines, Samson, strongest man of the tribe of Dan, falls in love with the Philistine Semadar, whom he wins by virtue of a contest of strength. But Semadar betrays him, and Samson engages in a fight with her real love, Ahtur, and his soldiers. Semadar is killed, and her sister Delilah, who had loved Samson in silence, now vows vengeance against him. She plans to seduce Samson into revealing the secret of his strength and then to betray him to the Philistine leader, the Saran.

l like to have spears...

bow to people.

Especially beautiful women.

You destroy a weapon

that you lack the skill to use.

Perhaps Semadar will teach me...

After our marriage.

Marriage to...

Your humor is even greater than

your strength.

The Saran.

The judge of Dan would do well

to leave the way he came...

Seek a bride in some other pasture.

Ahtur!

Ahtur!

Hail, great majesty.

Hail!

l don't like Ahtur either.

Water for the horses!

Hunt your lion with that, nimrod.

lf you killed the lion,

they'd call you great.

l can bend their spears

but l cannot outrun their horses.

l could get you there first.

We have stables.

What's your price?

Take me with you.

You're a bold little monkey.

What's your name?

Delilah.

Come on.

Faster, Samson, faster!

- Hold tight to the railing!

- l'll hold tight to you!

Be careful, you'll fall out!

No, l won't!

Semadar doesn't love

your strength like l do.

l'd love to feel the power of your arms.

l'd rather feel a wildcat on my back!

Will you tame me, Samson?

l'll use you for lion bait!

l don't see any lion!

Here, kill him before they gets here.

l won't need that,

he's a young lion.

Samson!

- You're more trouble than...

- l'm afraid!

Get up on that rock and don't move.

Look out!

Samson.

You killed him with your hands.

Oh, Samson.

Hey, one cat at a time.

What's the matter with you?

l love you. That's what's

the matter with me. I love you.

Lion ho!

Halt the hunt!

The beast is slain.

Delilah.

Semadar, the Saran.

Who is this girl?

My sister, Lord Saran.

l don't know how she came here

with this...

Danite, isn't he?

Perhaps this little blossom from

Tubal's Garden can enlighten us.

Oh, yes, majesty, l can.

Samson killed the lion

with his bare hands.

Never has there been such power

in any man.

Your sister has a lively imagination.

So you're Samson,

the brawling troublemaker.

The Saran knows me.

Yes, and no good of you.

Come here, girl.

You say he used no weapon?

Just his two hands, Lord Saran.

He was magnificent.

Only a god could do what he did.

Well, Danite, you have one worshipper.

Ahtur, examine the beast

and find the mark of the javelin.

But l...

Delilah, get down from that wheel.

Have you no respect?

There's no blood.

The wound must be on the other side.

The body's warm.

There is no mark upon the skin.

What?

l said there wasn't.

No mark?

Would you have us believe

the beast dropped dead from fear?

The girl told you the truth.

What you believe is your affair.

l should like to see this strength.

Garmiskar!

Now you'll see fur fly.

You'll see some blood flow.

Break this boaster's bones.

l have no quarrel

with your warrior.

What kind of courage claims
