Judges 16:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 Samson told her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become weak and be like any other man.”
8 The Philistine leaders brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them. 9 While the men in ambush were waiting in her room, she called out to him, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” [a] But he snapped the bowstrings as a strand of yarn snaps when it touches fire. The secret of his strength remained unknown.
