Judges 16:12-14 ▼

12 So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them and said to him, |The Philistines are here, Samson!| (The Philistines were hiding in the bedroom.) But he tore the ropes from his arms as if they were a piece of thread.

13 Delilah said to Samson, |Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you can be subdued.| He said to her, |If you weave the seven braids of my hair into the fabric on the loom and secure it with the pin, I will become weak and be like any other man.|

14 So she made him go to sleep, wove the seven braids of his hair into the fabric on the loom, fastened it with the pin, and said to him, |The Philistines are here, Samson!| He woke up and tore away the pin of the loom and the fabric.
