4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah.
5 And the lords of the Philistines came to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see in what his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred [pieces] of silver.
6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what thy great strength [lieth], and with what thou mayest be bound to afflict thee.
7 And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven green withs, that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought to her seven green withs, which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
