וַיַּעֲל֨וּ אֵלֶ֜יהָ סַרְנֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וַיֹּ֨אמְרוּ לָ֜הּ פַּתִּ֣י אוֹת֗וֹ וּרְאִי֙ בַּמֶּה֙ כֹּח֣וֹ גָד֔וֹל וּבַמֶּה֙ נ֣וּכַל ל֔וֹ וַאֲסַרְנֻ֖הוּ לְעַנֹּת֑וֹ וַאֲנַ֙חְנוּ֙ נִתַּן־לָ֔ךְ אִ֕ישׁ אֶ֥לֶף וּמֵאָ֖ה כָּֽסֶף׃
Lalu raja-raja kota orang Filistin datang kepada perempuan itu dan berkata kepadanya: “Bujuklah dia dan selidikilah apa yang membuat kekuatannya begitu besar, dan dengan cara apa kami dapat mengalahkannya, supaya kami dapat mengikatnya untuk menyiksanya. Masing-masing dari kami akan memberimu seribu seratus keping perak.”
Rashi
I expressly consecrated the silver, from my hand to my son's. I resolved to deliver it from my hand to yours for the purpose of making an image and a molten figure. Give it to me now, so that I may return it from my hand to you. Some say that this woman was Delilah, since Scripture specifies eleven hundred pieces of silver9See above 16:5.. However, they are in error, as Michah preceded Shimshon by many years.10See Rashi, v.l. But the episodes are juxtaposed because of the corrupt silver, which was of equal value in each of the incidents. The silver inflicted injury in both cases.
