Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 x: 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.
x Antiqu. l. 5. c. 8. sect. 11.
