Context — Samson and Delilah

9While the men were hidden in her room, she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he snapped the bowstrings like a strand of yarn seared by a flame. So the source of his strength remained unknown. 10Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”

11He replied, “If they tie me up with new ropes that have never been used, I will become as weak as any other man.”

12So Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But while the men were hidden in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads. 13Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up.” He told her, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man. ”

Judges 16:11 Summary

In this verse, Samson is trying to protect himself from Delilah's schemes by giving her a false reason for his strength. He tells her that new ropes will make him weak, but this is not the real reason. As seen in Judges 13:5, Samson's strength comes from his hair and his covenant with God. This verse shows that Samson is still trying to maintain control, but he is also vulnerable to Delilah's manipulation. We can learn from Samson's mistake by being mindful of our own weaknesses and the company we keep, as warned in Proverbs 22:24-25 and 1 Corinthians 15:33. By prioritizing our relationship with God and seeking His strength, as encouraged in Isaiah 40:29-31 and Philippians 4:13, we can avoid similar pitfalls and trust in His power to guide us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Samson tell Delilah that new ropes would make him weak?

Samson was trying to throw Delilah off the scent of the true source of his strength, which was his hair and his covenant with God, as seen in Judges 13:5 and Judges 16:17. This was a test of Delilah's intentions and a way for Samson to maintain some control over the situation.

What does this verse reveal about Samson's character?

This verse shows that Samson was still trying to maintain his strength and independence, even in the face of Delilah's manipulation and the Philistines' threats, similar to his actions in Judges 14:6 and Judges 15:14. However, it also reveals his growing trust in Delilah and his willingness to take risks.

How does this verse relate to the rest of the story of Samson?

This verse is a pivotal moment in the story of Samson, as it sets the stage for Delilah's final attempt to capture him and the eventual loss of his strength, as seen in Judges 16:19-21. It highlights the themes of deception, trust, and the consequences of sin, which are woven throughout the book of Judges, such as in Judges 2:10-15 and Judges 21:25.

What can we learn from Samson's mistake in this verse?

We can learn the importance of being mindful of our weaknesses and the company we keep, as warned in Proverbs 22:24-25 and 1 Corinthians 15:33. Samson's mistake was in underestimating Delilah's cunning and overestimating his own strength, which led to his downfall, a pattern seen in other biblical accounts, such as in 2 Samuel 11:1-5 and 2 Chronicles 26:16-21.

Reflection Questions

What are some areas in my life where I may be underestimating the influence of others or overestimating my own strength, and how can I apply the lesson from 1 Corinthians 10:12 to these situations?
How can I balance trust and discernment in my relationships, as seen in Proverbs 11:13 and Matthew 10:16-20?
What are some ways I can prioritize my relationship with God and seek His strength, rather than relying on my own abilities, as encouraged in Isaiah 40:29-31 and Philippians 4:13?
In what ways can I be more mindful of the company I keep and the influences in my life, as warned in Psalms 1:1-3 and 2 Corinthians 6:14-18?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Judges 16:11

And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. If they bind me fast with new ropes , [ ba`ªbotiym (H5688), with cords].

Trapp's Commentary on Judges 16:11

Judges 16:11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.Ver. 11. And he said unto her.] See Judges 16:7.

Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 16:11

(11) New ropes.—As in Judges 15:13. That never were occupied.—“Occupied” is an old word for “used.” (See Exodus 38:24, “All the gold that was occupied for the work;” Luke 19:13; Hebrews 13:9; “Like a new bright silver dish never occupied “—Ascham, Schoolmaster.) Here, again, Samson distantly touches on the consecration which is the secret of his strength.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 16:11

Verse 11. If they bind me fast with new ropes] Samson wishes to keep up the opinion which the Philistines held; viz., that his mighty strength was the effect of some charm; and therefore he says, Seven green withs which had not been dried; new ropes that were never occupied; weave the seven locks of my hair with the web, c. the green withs, the new ropes, and the number seven, are such matters as would naturally be expected in a charm or spell.
