Later he went to the Valley of Sorek and loved a woman there. Her name was Delilah.  \nDelilah was a Philistine and lived in the Valley of Sorek. Even though the Philistines were his enemies, Samson loved Delilah.  \nOne day five Philistine kings came to Delilah and said,“Make Samson tell you the secret of his strength and find out how we might overpower him. If you do that, then we will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”  \nDelilah said to Samson,“Please tell me the secret of your great strength, and what someone could do to you to make you weak.”  \nThen Samson said,“If anyone should tie me up with seven new bowstrings that were never dried, then I would be weak.  \nSo when Samson was sleeping she tied him with seven new bowstrings. Then she shouted,“Samson, the Philistines are coming!”","cbCaiciSPhFIqLKo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiciSPhFIqLKo","pdf",3482053,3,26,"English","en",105,"# Samson and Delilah\n## Philistine offer and Delilah’s question\n## The trap with seven new bowstrings","[{\"question\":\"Who does Samson love in the Valley of Sorek?\",\"answer\":\"Samson loves Delilah, who lives in the Valley of Sorek.
