Samson and Delilah Page #9

And he loved you?

Come. I'll make a bargain with you.

Come. A very small bargain.

So everything is ready?

Good.

Yoram, where are we?

- Where are they taking me?

- To the pillars.

- Yoram.

- I'm here.

I'm here.

Now go.

Yoram, know that I have loved you.

- But I can stay.

- Go.

- Go quickly.

- Samson.

Go quickly.

Go to him.

Samson.

Samson.

Naomi?

Naomi?

Naomi.

Samson.

- Take her with you, Yoram. Take her.

- No. Not yet.

Give us a few moments.

For all the years.

Yes.

A few moments.

And when I tell you to go, you will leave

at once, out of the temple, out of the city.

- Yes, yes. What is it, Samson?

- Do you swear, both of you?

- Yes. I swear.

- Yes, I swear.

Here I am.

Beside me, where you've always been.

And now my body wears chains

that have always been around my heart.

And yet I see you as you are. Free.

It is they who are enslaved.

They will all die.

What?

All men must die.

Only the hour is unknown.

Will you kiss me farewell, Samson?

- Naomi, do not torture me.

- Please.

With the mark of your kiss...

... I will always be blessed.

Dry your tears, woman.

It has taken me a lifetime to understand

God is the God of forgiveness.

Now.

Leave me now.

It is over.

Boy...

... I want you to do something for me.

Leave the temple.

Ride away from Gaza.

- General?

- Do as I say, boy.

Ride like the wind.

- Yes, commander.

- Hurry.

- In which direction, general?

- West.

- To the sea?

- Yes.

And then?

Submerge yourself in the water.

Then ride back.

Go.

Now, O God of Israel...

... grant me that for which I was born.

There is Samson,

hero of the mighty Israelites...

... come to worship at the altar

of our gods, whom you defied.

Grant me the strength again just once...

... O God.

Forgive Samson, God of Israel.

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

My son. My son. You knew.

You knew!

Forgive my son, O God of Israel.

With me die the Philistines.

Run for your life!

At last, O God of Israel!

And thus did Samson return

to the land of Israel.

Thus did my friend,

the son of Mara and Manoah...

... judge of his people,

return to his home...

... passing on the way the very well

where the stranger had foretold his birth.

The will of God had been fulfilled...

... and the faith which in his life

he had sought...

... was now finally and certainly found.

It was not the least

of his gifts to me.

To all things, there is a purpose.

It was through

the Philistine woman, Delilah...

... that Samson finally came

to the faith...

... which began the liberation

that the Lord God of Israel had promised.

He will not be forgotten.
