Samson And Delilah
7 Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man." 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. 9 Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson!" He broke the cords, as a string of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
