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 Y Dalila dijo a Sans贸n: Yo te ruego que me declares en qu茅 consiste tu fuerza tan grande, y c贸mo podr谩s ser atado para ser atormentado.
7 Y le respondi贸 Sans贸n: Si me ataren con siete mimbres verdes que a煤n no est茅n enjutos, entonces me debilitar茅, y ser茅 como cualquiera de los dem谩s hombres.
8 Y los pr铆ncipes de los filisteos le trajeron siete mimbres verdes que a煤n no estaban enjutos, y ella le at贸 con ellos.
9 Y los esp铆as estaban escondidos en casa de ella en una c谩mara. Entonces ella le dijo: 隆Sans贸n, los filisteos sobre ti! Y 茅l rompi贸 los mimbres, como se rompe una cuerda de estopa cuando siente el fuego; y no se supo el secreto de su fuerza.
10 Entonces Dalila dijo a Sans贸n: He aqu铆 t煤 me has enga帽ado, y me has dicho mentiras: desc煤breme, pues, ahora, yo te ruego, c贸mo podr谩s ser atado.
