Judges 16:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ The five heads of the Philistine nation went personally to her and demanded that she find out from Samson what made him so strong, so that they would know how to overpower and subdue him and put him in chains.

“Each of us will give you a thousand dollars for this job,” they promised.

⁶ So Delilah begged Samson to tell her his secret. “Please tell me, Samson, why you are so strong,” she pleaded. “I don’t think anyone could ever capture you!”

⁷ “Well,” Samson replied, “if I were tied with seven raw-leather bowstrings, I would become as weak as anyone else.”
