Judges 16:10-12

10Then Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have toyed with me and told me lies; now please tell me 1how you may be bound.” 11Then he said to her, “If they bind me tightly with new ropes 2which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man.” 12So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” For the men in the ambush were waiting in the inner room. But he tore 3the ropes from his arms like thread.
