Jueces 16:8 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 16:8

Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her
To the chamber where she was with Samson, she having acquainted them with what he had told her:

seven green withs, which had not been dried;
just such as he had described and directed to:

and she bound him with them;
taking an opportunity, very likely, when he was asleep, and drunk too, according to Josephus F24: the Philistines did not attempt to bind him, supposing that he would not admit them to do it, if aware of them; and they might fear, if asleep, he might awake before they could do it, and fall upon them and destroy them; but as for Delilah, if she had been found at it, she could have excused it as a piece of curiosity, being willing to try whether he told her truth or not.

Jueces 16:8 In-Context

6 As铆 que Dalila le dijo a Sans贸n:
鈥擠ime, por favor, qu茅 te hace tan fuerte, y con qu茅 podr铆an amarrarte sin que te liberes.
7 Sans贸n respondi贸:
鈥擲i me ataran con siete cuerdas de arco que sean nuevas y que a煤n no se hayan secado, me volver铆a tan d茅bil como cualquier otro hombre.
8 Entonces los gobernantes filisteos le llevaron a Dalila siete cuerdas nuevas, y con ellas at贸 a Sans贸n.
9 Dalila hab铆a escondido a algunos hombres en una de las habitaciones internas de su casa, y grit贸: 芦隆Sans贸n! 隆Los filisteos han venido a capturarte!禄; pero Sans贸n rompi贸 las cuerdas de arco como se rompe una cuerda cuando la quema el fuego. As铆 que no descubrieron el secreto de su fuerza.
10 Despu茅s Dalila le dijo:
鈥斅asta ahora te has burlado de m铆 y me has dicho mentiras! As铆 que, por favor, dime c贸mo es posible amarrarte sin que te liberes.
