2. Delilah
a) Delilah was a woman (who was probably a Philistine) who was loved by
Samson (one of Israel's Judges). She was paid by the Philistines to find
out the source of Samson's great strength. Three times Samson gave her a
false clue, but he finally told her, the secret of his strength was his
hair. "If I be shaved, then my strength will leave me" (Judges 16:17).
Delilah arranged to cut Samson's hair while he slept. When his strength
gone, Samson was easily captured, and blinded. Delilah was rewarded with
1,100 pieces of silver from each of the Philistine lords for Samson's
capture.
