Judges 16:8-13

8Then the lords of the PhilistinesH6430 broughtH5927 up to her sevenH7651 green withes which had not been dried, and she boundH631 him with them. 9Now she had liers-in-wait abiding in the innerH2315 chamberH2315. And she saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 are upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he brake the withes, as a string of towH5296 is broken whenH834 it toucheth the fireH784. So his strengthH3581 was not knownH3045.

10And DelilahH1807 saidH559 unto SamsonH8123, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and toldH5046 me liesH3576: nowH6258 tellH5046 me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be boundH631. 11And he saidH559 unto her, If they only bindH631 me with newH2319 ropesH5688 wherewith no workH4399 hath beenH1961 done, then shall I becomeH1961 weak, and beH1961 as another manH120. 12So DelilahH1807 tookH3947 newH2319 ropesH5688, and boundH631 him therewith, and saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 are upon thee, SamsonH8123. And the liers-in-wait were abiding in the innerH2315 chamberH2315. And he brake them off his armsH2220 like a threadH2339.

13And DelilahH1807 saidH559 unto SamsonH8123, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and toldH5046 me liesH3576: tellH5046 me wherewith thou mightest be boundH631. And he saidH559 unto her, If thou weavest the sevenH7651 locks of my headH7218 with the webH4545.
