Judges 16:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ So Delilah begged Samson to tell her his secret. “Please tell me, Samson, why you are so strong,” she pleaded. “I don’t think anyone could ever capture you!”

⁷ “Well,” Samson replied, “if I were tied with seven raw-leather bowstrings, I would become as weak as anyone else.”

⁸ So they brought her the seven bowstrings, and while he slept^[a] she tied him with them.
