Judges 16:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ The Philistine rulers went to Delilah and said, “Find out what makes Samson so strong. Trick him into telling you how we can overpower him and capture him and tie him up. If you do this, each one of us will give you twenty-eight pounds of silver.”

⁶ So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me why you are so strong. How can someone tie you up and capture you?”

⁷ Samson answered, “Someone would have to tie me up with seven new bowstrings that have not been dried. Then I would be as weak as any other man.”
