07:016:002 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. 
           And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in
           the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In
           the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.

07:016:003 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took
           the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went
           away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders,
           and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before
           Hebron.

07:016:004 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the
           valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

07:016:005 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.

07:016:006 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy
           great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to
           afflict thee.

07:016:007 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.

07:016:008 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven
           green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with
           them.

07:016:009 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the
           chamber.  And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee,
           Samson.  And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken
           when it toucheth the fire.  So his strength was not known.

07:016:010 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and
           told me lies:  now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou
           mightest be bound.

07:016:011 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that
           never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another
           man.

07:016:012 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and
           said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson.  And there
           were liers in wait abiding in the chamber.  And he brake them
           from off his arms like a thread.

07:016:013 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me,
           and told me lies:  tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. 
           And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my
           head with the web.

07:016:014 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The
           Philistines be upon thee, Samson.  And he awaked out of his
           sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the
           web.
