And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.

Verse 19 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.

Und sie ließ ihn entschlafen auf ihrem Schoß und rief einem, der ihm die sieben Locken seines Hauptes abschöre. Und sie fing an ihn zu zwingen; da war seine Kraft von ihm gewichen.
Y ella hizo que él se durmiese sobre sus rodillas; y llamado un hombre, rapole siete guedejas de su cabeza, y comenzó a afligirlo, pues su fuerza se apartó de él.
Ella lo hizo dormir sobre sus rodillas, llamó a un hombre e hizo que le rapara los siete mechones de la cabeza. Comenzó a someterlo, y su fuerza se apartó de él.
Elle l'endormit sur ses genoux. Et ayant appelé un homme, elle rasa les sept tresses de la tête de Samson, et commença ainsi à le dompter. Il perdit sa force.
Ed ella addormentò Sansone sopra le sue ginocchia; poi, chiamato un uomo, gli fece radere le sette ciocche del capo; e così fu la prima a domarlo, e la sua forza si partì da lui.
Então ela o fez dormir sobre os seus joelhos, e chamou a um homem, e rapou-lhe as sete tranças do cabelo de sua cabeça; e começou a afligi-lo, e retirou-se dele a sua força.
