Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.” 6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.” 7 Samson told her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become as weak as any other man.” 8 So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
