NETBible

They said to him, “We have come down to take you prisoner so we can hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Promise me 1  you will not kill 2  me.”

NET Notes

1 tn Or “swear to me.”

2 tn Heb “meet [with hostility]”; “harm.” In light of v. 13, “kill” is an appropriate translation.
