Judges 16:19

she made him sleep Cf. Judges 16:14 LXX. cod. A. For a manthe original has the man, i.e. who was waiting in readiness. For and shaved(subj. Delîlah) the context seems to require the reading and he shaved; the man was called in for this purpose.

she began to afflict him Can this mean, by cutting off his hair? Moore suggests that D. bound him (cf. Judges 16:5), as may be implied in the words I will shake myselfin Judges 16:20. The Greek reads he began to be afflictedor humbled; his strength began to ebb away as the hair fell. So many moderns.
