Context Readings

Samson And Delilah

10 Some time later, Delilah told Samson, "Look here! You've been mocking me and lying to me. Now please tell me how you can be tied up." 11 He told her, "If I'm tied up securely with new ropes that have never been used, then I'll become weak and just like any other human being." 12 So Delilah grabbed some new ropes and tied him up. Then she told him, "The Philistines are attacking you, Samson!" because some kidnappers were hiding inside an inner room. But he snapped the ropes from his arms like thread.
