And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.

And it was told to Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were assembled.

And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath disclosed to me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought money in their hand.
