Judges 16:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ Later on, Delilah told Samson, “You’re still mocking me and telling me lies! Tell me how to tie you up!”

He answered her, “If you weave the seven locks on my head into a loom and fasten it with a peg, then I will become weak and just like any other human being.”

¹⁴ So Delilah took the seven locks on his head and wove them into the loom while he slept.^[a] She fastened his hair with a peg and then told him, “The Philistines are attacking you, Samson!” But he woke up from his nap and pulled the pin from the loom and the weaving.

Samson Tells Delilah His Secret

¹⁵ Some time later, she asked him, “How can you keep saying ‘I love you!’ when your heart isn’t with me? These three times you’ve lied to me and haven’t told me where your great strength lies.”
