Judges 16:4-6

Samson and Delilah

4 After this he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 5 And b the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, c "Seduce him, and see where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to d humble him. And we will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver." 6 So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could d subdue you."
