They offer prayers to the God of Israel, but Abimelech, the Philistiné governor, appears and mocks and insults their God. Samson denounces him as a blasphemer and calls upon the Israelites to take up arms and free themselves. Samson, when attacked by Abimelech, kills him, while the Israelites put the Philistines to flight. Philistine maidens then fae feed headed by the beautiful Delilah, and dance before the victorious Israelites. Delilah employs every fascination to attract Samson, who falls a victim to her charms. He accepts an invitation to visit her home in the Valley of Sorek, and, while he is there, Delilah, who has been bribed by the High Priest of Dagon, persuades Samson to reveal the secret of his great strength. He resists her for a while, but at last he reveals it. Then Delilah calls the soldiers, who have been hiding in the grounds, to arrest him, after she has shorn his loeks, which he has revealed as the secret of his great strength. The Philistines put out both his eyes, and, like a slave, he is forced to grind corn at the mill. Then for the sport of the Philistines, who are once more masters of Gaza, Samson is dragged to the temple of Dagon. Delilah is there to taunt him, and the High Priest, remembering the reason of the death of Abimelech, cries out that Dagon is mightier than the God of Israel. Samson breathes a prayer to the God of his fathers that for one moment he may be given back his former strength. Shaking himself free, he seizes the two — which support the temple, and with is great strength sways them. The roof crashes down and buries him and all his enemies. 10.15 Close of normal programme 11.0 NEWS FROM LONDON, followed by meditation music 11.30 CLOSE DOWN . QV WELLINGTON 84Qk¢. 357m. 6.
