Midrash sobre Juízes 16:1
וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ שִׁמְשׁ֖וֹן עַזָּ֑תָה וַיַּרְא־שָׁם֙ אִשָּׁ֣ה זוֹנָ֔ה וַיָּבֹ֖א אֵלֶֽיהָ׃
Sansão foi a Gaza, e viu ali uma prostituta, e entrou a ela.
Midrash Tanchuma
Sisera similarly was punished by the very thing of which he boasted. Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron (Judg. 4:13). For that reason they fought against him from heaven: The stars in their courses fought against Sisera (ibid. 5:20). And Samson, too, was punished by the Holy One, blessed be He, through the very thing in which he prided himself, as it is said: And Samson said unto his father: “Get her for me, for she pleaseth me well” (Judg. 14:3). Hence, the Philistines laid hold on him and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza (ibid. 16:21).9Samson lusted after Delilah and was trapped by her.
