Judges 16:7-9

7And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.12

8Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.3

9Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.4
