Judges 16:13-14

13Then DelilahH1807 saidH559 to SamsonH8123, “Up to nowH2008 you have toyedH8524 with me and toldH1696 me liesH3577; tellH5046 me 1howH4100 you may be boundH631.” And he saidH559 to her, “IfH518 you weaveH707 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of my 2hairH7218 with the 3webH4545 4[and fasten it with the pin, then I will be weak like any other man.” 14So while he slept, Delilah wove the seven locks of his 5hair with the web]. And she fastenedH8628 it with the pinH3489 and saidH559 to him, “The PhilistinesH6430 are upon you, SamsonH8123!” But he awokeH3364 from his sleepH8142 and pulledH5265 outH5265 the pinH3489 of the loomH708 and the webH4545.
