Judges 16:5-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁵ The Philistine leaders^(A) went to her and said, ‘Persuade him to tell you^[a] where his great strength comes from, so we can overpower him, tie him up, and make him helpless. Each of us will then give you 1,100 pieces of silver.’

⁶ So Delilah said to Samson, ‘Please tell me, where does your great strength come from? How could someone tie you up and make you helpless? ’

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.’
