Judges 16:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and shouted, “Samson, the Philistines are here!”[a] But while the men in ambush were waiting in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like a thread.
13 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me all along and told me lies! Tell me how you can be tied up.”
He told her, “If you weave the seven braids on my head with the web of a loom—”[b]
14 She fastened the braids with a pin and called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are here!”[c] He awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin, with the loom and the web.
