Samson and Delilah Page #6

People will look to us to inspire them.

They'll bring their hopes,

fears, doubts to us.

We will become the true judges

of Israel.

See there in the stars...

... when Samson has been netted.

Help him! Help him!

Stop them!

You've got no right to do this!

- What is happening?

- They've taken Samson.

What?

Where are they taking him?

Do something. Help him!

Do something!

Yoram, come on. Come on!

Samson! Let me through!

Go! Take him!

- Samson!

- Go! Seize him! Go!

Stay back.

You, go on!

Manoah.

Go! Stop him!

You, get him!

Go on!

Where were you? We outnumbered them

by more than 100.

Lead you?

Shall I kill him for you too?

- Where are you going?

- Kill him yourself.

- Samson!

- Samson!

Cowards! Traitors!

- We should have stayed to watch.

- No.

Being at home asleep

proclaims our innocence.

He'll be halfway to Gaza by now...

... in chains of iron.

Lord!

Lord!

Yoram.

- We'll find somewhere to hide you.

- Hide me?

They might come again.

- Let them.

- Come.

You have a friend,

one who will never betray us.

How many of them were there?

We outnumbered them

by more than 100.

- You fought them like 200.

- God is good.

Not one of them tried to help.

Except you.

The others begged rebellion of me

one day and abandoned me the next.

- They were frightened.

- And you weren't.

I'm not old enough to know better.

Nor are my parents.

Naomi cracked a few skulls.

Love is a powerful conqueror of fear.

Surely if he had been taken...

... Father would have been told.

He would have awoken us by now.

Father is asleep, and he's...

Where would he go?

They have to come back.

All the laws we have to live by

are so difficult to keep.

Part of our strength is giving support

to each other.

And helping each other...

... and guiding each other

will reveal this temptation.

You were dedicated

a Nazarite at birth?

- Yes. Like you, I belong to the Lord.

- We belong to the Lord.

He is a strange master who tells

us nothing, asks nothing of us.

His ways are unknowable.

He moves beyond our understanding.

Or not at all.

He gave you strength enough

to break a lion's neck.

You knew.

You what?

- Nothing.

- Nothing.

There are many ways to be strong.

Samson. What are you... ?

- We heard voices.

- What's he doing here?

The Philistines tried to capture him.

He beat them back.

- He did?

- God be praised.

Yes. God be praised.

- With him here, we will all be in danger.

- What if they come back again?

- Tonight?

- They won't look here.

If they come back again,

search the village?

- Then what?!

- We'll be taken to Gaza in chains!

He can't stay here!

Jehiel, Amram, leave us.

If you are in fear of your lives...
