Judges 16:7-9
American Standard Version
7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven [a]green withes that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man. 8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. 9 Now she had liers-in-wait abiding in the inner chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a string of tow is broken when it [b]toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
