New International Version (© 2011)
But Samson lay there only until the middle of the night. Then he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate, together with the two posts, and tore them loose, bar and all. He lifted them to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.King James Bible
And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.American Standard Version
And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.Young's Literal Translation
And Samson lieth down till the middle of the night, and riseth in the middle of the night, and layeth hold on the doors of the gate of the city, and on the two side posts, and removeth them with the bar, and putteth on his shoulders, and taketh them up unto the top of the hill, which is on the front of Hebron.Judges 16:3 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleTook the doors of the gate - Though Samson was a very strong man, yet we do not find that he was a giant; consequently we may conjecture that the gates of the city were not very large, as he took at once the doors, the two posts, and the bar, with him. The cities of those days would appear to disadvantage among modern villages. A hill - before Hebron - Possibly there were two Hebrons; it could not be the city generally understood by the word Hebron, as that was about twenty miles distant from Gaza: unless we suppose that על פני חברון al peney Chebron is to be understood of the road leading to Hebron: he carried all to the top of that hill which was on the road leading to Hebron. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge took Psalm 107:16 For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. Isaiah 63:1-5 Who is this that comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel... Micah 2:13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it... Acts 2:24 Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held of it. bar and all. Heb. with the bar Judges 16:3 Parallel Commentaries
