Judges 16:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ So the Philistine rulers brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she bound him with them. ⁹ They lay in wait in her inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson.” Then he split apart the bowstrings like a single thread is split apart at the touch of fire. So the source of his strength did not become known.

¹⁰ Delilah said to Samson, “You have deceived me. You have told me lies. Now, please tell me how you can be bound.”
