Ibinalita sa mga taga-Gaza: “Dumating dito si Samson.” Kaya naglibot sila sa lungsod at inabangan nila siya buong gabi sa pintuang-bayan ng lungsod. Nanatili silang tahimik buong gabi, at sinabi nila, “Hintayin natin ang liwanag ng umaga, at saka natin siya papatayin.”
Mishnah Sotah
Samson went after [the desire of] his eyes; therefore the Philistines put out his eyes, as it is said, “And the Philistines laid hold of him, and put out his eyes” (Judges 16:2. Absalom was proud of his hair, therefore he was hanged by his hair. And because he had relations with the ten of his father’s concubines, therefore [they thrust] ten spears in him, as it is said, “And ten of Joab’s young arms-bearers closed in [and struck Absalom until he died]” (II Samuel 18:15). And because he stole three hearts, the heart of his father, the heart of the court, and the heart of Israel, as it is said, “So Absalom stole the hearts of the people of Israel” (II Samuel 15:6), therefore three darts were driven into him, as it is said, “And he took three darts in his hand, and drove them through the heart of Absalom” (II Samuel 18:1.
