Samson and Delilah – new ropes.
After Delilah had nagged Samson for the second time, he said to her, “If you tie me up with new ropes, I will become weak.
He had lied and just went his way.
Why did Samson not understand what Delilah was up to?
Or was God using this to bring about what was to happen in the Philistine temple to Dagon, where Samson was to kill more in that one event than he killed in the rest of his life?
The Philistines were one of the enemies of Israel.
Background Reading:
Samson and Delilah
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.
Judges 16:11-12
