← Judges 16:5	Judges 16:6 (KJV)	Judges 16:7 →
And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein 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.	And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength [lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.	And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
