Contextual Overview
4And it comes to pass afterward that he loves a woman in the Valley of Sorek, and her name [is] Delilah, 5and the princes of the Philistines come up to her, and say to her, "Entice him, and see wherein his great power [is], and wherein we are able for him—and we have bound him to afflict him, and each one of us gives eleven hundred pieces of silver to you." 6And Delilah says to Samson, "Please declare to me wherein your great power [is], and with what you are bound, to afflict you." 7And Samson says to her, "If they bind me with seven green cords which have not been dried, then I have been weak, and have been as one of mankind." 8And the princes of the Philistines bring up to her seven green cords which have not been dried, and she binds him with them. 9And the ambush is abiding with her in an inner chamber, and she says to him, "Philistines [are] on you, Samson!" And he breaks the cords as a thread of tow is broken in its touching fire, and his power has not been known. 10And Delilah says to Samson, "Behold, you have played on me, and speak lies to me; now, please declare to me with what you are bound."11And he says to her, "If they certainly bind me with thick bands, new ones, by which work has not been done, then I have been weak, and have been as one of mankind." 12And Delilah takes thick bands, new ones, and binds him with them, and says to him, "Philistines [are] on you, Samson!" And the ambush is abiding in an inner chamber, and he breaks them from off his arms as a thread. 13And Delilah says to Samson, "Until now you have played on me, and speak lies to me; declare to me with what you are bound." And he says to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Delilah said unto Samson,.... Not on the same day, but some time after, as Kimchi observes, when an opportunity offered, and he was in like circumstances as before; for had she immediately attacked him, it might have created some suspicion in him of a design against him:
behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies; deceived her with lies, by telling her the other day that if he was bound with green withs, he should become as weak as other men; which she, out of curiosity as she might pretend, had tried, and had found to be false; and which, she might add, was an argument of want of true love to her, to mock her in such a manner:
now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound; so as to be held.
