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 shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. Delilah accuses Samson of not loving her because he has not revealed his secret. Finally he opens his heart and explains the connection between his hair and his consecration from the womb. Delilah puts him to sleep, his hair is cut, and the Philistines capture him. The text soberly emphasizes that the Lord has departed from him. The loss of strength is presented as the consequence of violating the condition associated with his consecration.

Y viendo Dalila que él le había descubierto todo su corazón, envió a llamar a los príncipes de los Filisteos, diciendo: Venid esta vez, porque él me ha descubierto todo su corazón. Y los príncipes de los Filisteos vinieron a ella, trayendo en su mano el dinero.
Dalila vio que le había abierto todo su corazón y mandó llamar a los gobernantes de los filisteos: «Suban esta vez, porque me ha abierto todo su corazón». Los gobernantes de los filisteos subieron a verla llevando la plata en las manos.
Delila, voyant qu'il lui avait ouvert tout son coeur, envoya appeler les princes des Philistins, et leur fit dire: Montez cette fois, car il m'a ouvert tout son coeur. Et les princes des Philistins montèrent vers elle, et apportèrent l'argent dans leurs mains.
Delila adunque, veduto ch’egli le avea dichiarato tutto il cuor suo, mandò a chiamare i principi de’ Filistei, dicendo: Venite questa volta; perciocchè egli mi ha dichiarato tutto il cuor suo. E i principi de’ Filistei salirono a lei, recando in mano i danari.
Vendo, pois, Dalila que já lhe descobrira todo o seu coração, mandou chamar os príncipes dos filisteus, dizendo: Subi esta vez, porque agora me descobriu ele todo o seu coração. E os príncipes dos filisteus subiram a ter com ela, trazendo com eles o dinheiro.
