Judges 16:2

The people of Gaza were told, "Samson has come here." And they surrounded him and lay in wait (on the prowl) [at the house or outside the gate] and waited for him all night (Hebr. lajla) at the city gates and were silent all night (Hebr. lajla) and said: "When morning dawns, we will strike him (with a deadly blow)."
