Judges 16:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ Some men were hiding in the next room, so as soon as she had tied him up she exclaimed, “Samson! The Philistines are here!”

Then he snapped the bowstrings like cotton thread,^[a] and so his secret was not discovered.

¹⁰ Afterward Delilah said to him, “You are making fun of me! You told me a lie! Please tell me how you can be captured!”

¹¹ “Well,” he said, “if I am tied with brand new ropes which have never been used, I will be as weak as other men.”
