Ketika diberitahukan kepada orang-orang Gaza: "Simson telah datang ke sini," maka mereka mengepung tempat itu dan siap menghadang dia semalam-malaman itu di pintu gerbang kota, tetapi semalam-malaman itu mereka tidak berbuat apa-apa, karena pikirnya: "Nanti pada waktu fajar kita akan membunuh dia."
Maka kedengaranlah kabarnya kepada orang Gaza, mengatakan: Bahwa Simson telah masuk ke dalam negeri ini; lalu dikepungnya akan dia dan semalam-malaman itu diadangnya akan dia dalam pintu negeri; tetapi berdiamlah juga mereka itu dirinya semalam suntuk, katanya: Pada waktu dini hari kelak kita hendak membunuh dia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it was told the Gazites,.... The inhabitants of Gaza, the principal ones of it, the magistrates of the city, either by some persons that saw him come in, who knew him, or by the harlot into whose company he fell, to whom he made himself known:
saying, Samson is come hither; the man so famous for his strength, and such an enemy to the Philistines; his name was well known for his great exploits, and rung throughout Palestine, and was a terror to the whole country:
and they compassed [him] in; not that they surrounded the house where he was, which perhaps they might not certainly know, but they secured all the avenues and gates of the city, made them fast, and placed guards there, that he might not escape their hands:
and laid wait for him all night in the gate; particularly at that gate, where, if he went out for his country, he must pass:
and were quiet all the night; did not attempt to disturb Samson, or seize on him, if they knew where he was; knowing his great strength, and what a tumult might be raised in the city, they said nothing of it to anybody that passed, what they were placed there for, lest it should come to his ears; they made as if they were deaf and dumb, as some interpret it, and heard and knew nothing:
saying, in the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him; when they should better know him, and make sure their blow at him, and do it suddenly, unawares to him, as he came to the gate, to pass through it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 16:2. They compassed him in — They shut up all the avenues, secured the gates, and set persons in ambush near them, that they might attack him on his leaving the city early the next morning.
