Judges 16:12
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.
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith,.... Tried this experiment with him, according to his directions, being very desirous of getting the sum of money offered her:
and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson: using the same words, and with the same view as she had done before, Judges 16:9
(and there were liers in wait abiding the chamber); as before, ready upon occasion to rush in upon him, as soon as any notice was given them:
And he brake them from off his arms like a thread; as easily as a thread of linen can be snapped asunder.
