Samson answered, "If they tie me up with seven new bowstrings that are not dried out, I'll be as weak as anybody else."

So the Philistine kings brought Delilah seven new bowstrings that were not dried out, and she tied Samson up.
9
She had some men waiting in another room, so she shouted, "Samson! The Philistines are coming!" But he snapped the bowstrings just as thread breaks when fire touches it. So they still did not know the secret of his strength.

Delilah told Samson, "Look, you've been making a fool of me and not telling me the truth. Please tell me how someone could tie you up."
11
He told her, "If they tie me with new ropes that have never been used, I'll be as weak as anybody else."

Delilah then lulled him to sleep, took his seven locks of hair, and wove them into the loom. She made it tight with a peg and shouted, "Samson! The Philistines are coming!" But he woke up and pulled his hair loose from the loom.
15
So she said to him, "How can you say you love me, when you don't mean it? You've made a fool of me three times, and you still haven't told me what makes you so strong."
16
She kept on asking him, day after day. He got so sick and tired of her bothering him about it
17
that he finally told her the truth. "My hair has never been cut," he said. "I have been dedicated to God as a nazirite from the time I was born. If my hair were cut, I would lose my strength and be as weak as anybody else."
