Judges 16:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ The rulers of the Philistines confronted her and said to her, “Seduce him and find out what gives him such great strength and what we can do to overpower him, so that we can tie him up and make him weak. Then we’ll each pay you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”

⁶ So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me what gives you such great strength and how you can be tied up and made weak.”

⁷ Samson replied to her, “If someone ties me up with seven fresh bowstrings that aren’t dried out, I’ll become weak. I’ll be like any other person.”
