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.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. Samson loves Delilah, and the Philistine rulers offer her money to discover the source of his strength. Delilah repeatedly pressures him, and Samson gives false answers. The narrative shows the judge’s vulnerability to emotional manipulation. Samson’s strength is not merely a secret physical ability; it is connected to his consecration and the symbol of his hair, although he continues trying to conceal the truth.
