Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He broke the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.

ગુજરાતીન્યાયાધીશો ૧૬:૯
હવે તેણે છાની રીતે માણસોને તેની ઓરડીમાં સંતાડી રાખ્યા હતા. તેણે તેને કહ્યું, સામસૂન!” પલિસ્તીઓ તારા પર ચઢી આવ્યા છે!” પણ શણની એક દોરી આગને અડક્યાથી તૂટી જાય તેમ તેણે તે બાંધેલા બંધનો તોડી નાખ્યાં. એમ તેઓ તેના બળ વિષે જાણી શક્યા નહિ.
हिन्दीन्यायियों १६:९
उसके पास तो कुछ मनुष्य कोठरी में घात लगाए बैठे थे। तब उसने उससे कहा, “हे शिमशोन, पलिश्ती तेरी घात में हैं!” तब उसने ताँतों को ऐसा तोड़ा जैसा सन का सूत आग से छूते ही टूट जाता है। और उसके बल का भेद न खुला।

In context

7Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”

8Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

9Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He broke the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.

10Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”

11He said to her, “If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then I will become weak, and be as another man.”
