New International Reader’s Version

5 The rulers of the Philistines went to her. They said, ‘See if you can get him to tell you the secret of why he’s so strong. Find out how we can overpower him. Then we can tie him up. We can bring him under our control. Each of us will give you 13 kilograms of silver.’
