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.
