And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

World English Bible

It happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was troubled to death.

Douay-Rheims - Judges 16:16

And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even until death.

Webster's Bible Translation

And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed to death;

SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:16

Y aconteció que, apretándole ella cada día con sus palabras y moliéndolo, su alma fue reducida a mortal angustia.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 16:16

Verse 16. His
soul was vexed unto death] What a consummate fool was this strong man! Might he not have seen, from what already took place, that Delilah intended his ruin? After trifling with her, and lying thrice, he at last commits to her his fatal secret, and thus becomes a traitor to himself and to his God. Well may we adopt the sensible observation of Calmet on this passage: Lamentations foiblesse du caeur de Samson, dans torte cette histoire, est encore plus etonnante que la force de son corps; "The weakness of Samson's heart in the whole of this history, is yet more astonishing than the strength of his body."

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 16. And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him , etc.] Lay at him day after day to communicate the
secret to him, gave him no rest, but was incessant in her applications to him: so that his soul was vexed unto death : could hardly bear to live, but wished to die, being in the utmost perplexity what to do between two different passions, love and fear; on the one hand chained by his lust to this harlot, that was continually teasing him, and whom he had not an heart to leave, or otherwise that would have cleared him of his difficulties; and on the other hand, should he disclose the secret, he feared, and was in danger of losing his strength, in which his glory lay: or “his soul was shortened unto death” f341 ; it was the means of shortening his days, and hastening his death. Abarbinel thinks that Samson was sensible of this, that his days were short, and the time of his death at hand; which made him the more willing to impart the secret. This may put in mind of the story of Milo, a man famous for his great strength, said to carry an ox upon his shoulders a furlong without breathing; of whom it is reported, that none of his adversaries could deliver themselves out of his hands, but his whore could, often contending with him; hence it is observed of him, that he was strong in body, but not of a manly soul f342 ; and there are many other things said of him concerning his great strength, which seem to be taken from this history of Samson.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 4-17 -
Samson had been more than once brought into mischief and danger by the love of women, yet he would not take warning, but is again taken in the same snare, and this third time is fatal. Licentiousness is one of the things that take away the heart. This is a deep pit into which man have fallen; but from which few have escaped, and those by a miracle of mercy, with the loss of reputation and usefulness, of almost all except their souls. The anguish of the suffering is ten thousand time greater than all the pleasures of the sin.
