Judges 16:8-13

8So the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 broughtH5927 her sevenH7651 freshH3892 bowstringsH3499 thatH834 had notH3808 been driedH2717, and she tied him upH631 with them. 9While the menH693 were hiddenH3427 in her roomH2315, she called outH559, “SamsonH8123, the PhilistinesH6430 are hereH5921!”

But he snappedH5423 the bowstringsH3499 likeH834 a strandH6616 of yarnH5296 searedH5423H7306 by a flameH784. So the source of his strengthH3581 remained unknownH3808H3045.

10Then DelilahH1807 saidH559 toH413 SamsonH8123H2009, “You have mockedH2048 me and lied to meH1696H413H3577! NowH6258 pleaseH4994 tellH5046 me howH4100 you can be tied upH631.”

11He repliedH559H413, “IfH518 they tie me upH631 with newH2319 ropesH5688 thatH834 have neverH3808 been usedH6213H4399, I will become as weakH2470H1961 as anyH259 other manH120.”

12So DelilahH1807 tookH3947 newH2319 ropesH5688, tied him upH631 with them, and called outH559H413, “SamsonH8123, the Philistines areH6430 hereH5921!”

But while the menH693 were hiddenH3427 in her roomH2315, he snappedH5423 the ropes offH5921 his armsH2220 like they were threadsH2339.

13Then DelilahH1807 saidH559 toH413 SamsonH8123, “You have mockedH2048 me and lied to meH1696H413H3577 all alongH5704H2008! TellH5046 me howH4100 you can be tied upH631.”

He told herH559H413, “IfH518 you weaveH707 the sevenH7651 braidsH4253 of my headH7218 intoH5973 the web of a loomH4545 and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.1”
