Judges 16:11-13

Lexham English Bible

¹¹ He said to her, “If they tie me tightly with new ropes that have not been used, I will become weak and be like everyone else.” ¹² So Delilah took new ropes and tied him up with them, and she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” (The ambush was sitting in an inner room.) But he snapped them from his arms like thread.

¹³ And Delilah said to Samson, “Until now you have mocked me and told lies to me. Tell me how you can be bound.” And he said to her, “If you weave seven locks of my head with warp-threads.”^[a]
