Exegesis
The proper names Delilah {דְּלִילָה | də·lî·lā} and Samson {שִׁמְשׁוֹן | šim·šôn} establish the participants, immediately followed by the attention marker hinneh {הִנֵּה | hîn·nêh} ‘behold,’ intensifying Delilah’s emotive charge.
In context — Judges 16:10
And Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me and spoken lies to me; now please tell me —by what can you be bound?”
