לַעַזָּתִים ׀ לֵאמֹר בָּא שִׁמְשׁוֹן הֵנָּה וַיָּסֹבּוּ וַיֶּאֶרְבוּ־לוֹ כׇל־הַלַּיְלָה בְּשַׁעַר הָעִיר וַיִּתְחָֽרְשׁוּ כׇל־הַלַּיְלָה לֵאמֹר עַד־אוֹר הַבֹּקֶר וַהֲרַגְנֻֽהוּ׃
The Azites were informed: "Shimshon has arrived here." They surrounded [him], then lay in ambush for him throughout the night at the city gate. They were silent all night, as if to say, "…until daylight, and then we shall kill him."

Rashi
ויתחרשו. נהגו עצמן בשתיקה:
They were silent [lit. "They were muted"]. They acted in silence.
וַיִּשְׁכַּב שִׁמְשׁוֹן עַד־חֲצִי הַלַּיְלָה וַיָּקׇם ׀ בַּחֲצִי הַלַּיְלָה וַיֶּאֱחֹז בְּדַלְתוֹת שַֽׁעַר־הָעִיר וּבִשְׁתֵּי הַמְּזֻזוֹת וַיִּסָּעֵם עִֽם־הַבְּרִיחַ וַיָּשֶׂם עַל־כְּתֵפָיו וַֽיַּעֲלֵם אֶל־רֹאשׁ הָהָר אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי חֶבְרֽוֹן׃ {פ}
Shimshon reclined until midnight. At midnight he arose, grasped the doors of the city gate and the two doorposts, uprooted them, with the bolt, and placed them on his shoulders. He carried them up to the summit of the mountain facing Chevron.

Rashi
ויסעם. ויעקרם ממקומם:
Uprooted them [lit. "moved them"]. He uprooted them from their places.
לעזתים לאמר. לאנשי עזה נאמר:
The Azites were informed. It was said to the people of Aza.
