Judges 16:6 in Context — Judges 16
4 Après cela, il aima une femme dans la vallée de Sorek. Elle se nommait Delila.
5 Les princes des Philistins montèrent vers elle, et lui dirent: Flatte-le, pour savoir d’où lui vient sa grande force et comment nous pourrions nous rendre maîtres de lui; nous le lierons pour le dompter, et nous te donnerons chacun mille et cent sicles d’argent.
6 Delila dit à Samson: Dis-moi, je te prie, d’où vient ta grande force, et avec quoi il faudrait te lier pour te dompter.
7 Samson lui dit: Si on me liait avec sept cordes fraîches, qui ne fussent pas encore sèches, je deviendrais faible et je serais comme un autre homme.
8 Les princes des Philistins apportèrent à Delila sept cordes fraîches, qui n’étaient pas encore sèches. Et elle le lia avec ces cordes.
