Judges 16:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ Now she had men lying in wait in an inner room. And she said to him, The Philistines are upon you, Samson! And he broke the bowstrings as a string of tow breaks when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

¹⁰ And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, you have mocked me and told me lies; now tell me, I pray you, how you might be bound.

¹¹ And he said to her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that have not been used, then I shall become weak and be like any other man.
