10. Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with which you might be bound.”
11. 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.
13. 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.”
14. She fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam, and the web.
15. She said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.”
16. When she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, his soul was troubled to death.
17. He told her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I will become weak, and be like any other man.”
18. When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up this once, for he has told me all his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.
