“Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up.” He told her, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.””
“Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.””
“So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.””
“Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.”
“So Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But while the men were hidden in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads.”
“When Delilah realized that he had revealed to her all that was in his heart, she sent this message to the lords of the Philistines: “Come up once more, for he has revealed to me all that is in his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came to her, bringing the money in their hands.”
