Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gallery of Scripture Engravings, Historical and Landscape, Vol. 2: With Descriptions, Historical, Geographical and Pictorial
Assured 'that her object was now attained, this artful woman soon lulled him to sleep upon her knees, doubtless after a fashion still very common in the East, where it is not unusual for a husband, or full-grown son, to sleep upon his wife or mother's knees. The woman sits cross-legged upon the mat or carpet, and the man lays himself down with his head upon her lap, and she gently taps, strokes, sings, and soothes him to sleep. When Delilah was satisfied that her victim slept soundly, a man shaved off his hair, and by that act took his strength and glory from him. When the woman cried The Philistines be upon thee, Samson, - he awoke, and, ignorant of what had befallen him, said - I will go out, as at other times before, and shake myself, meaning, probably, that he would free himself from the bands which his betrayer had doubtless placed upon his hands. But vain were all his efforts. He saw that the Lord had departed from him: and in the shock produced by that terrible conviction, the Philistines made him their captive, and led him away to Gaza, where they put out his eyes, and set him to grind corn, like a slave, in the prison-house.
