Judges 16:7-13

8
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with which you might be bound.”

He said to her, “If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”
12
So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them off his arms like a thread.

Delilah said to Samson, “Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.” He said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.”
