Then Delilah pouted,“ How can you tell me,‘ I love you,’ when you don’t share your secrets with me? You’ve made fun of me three times now, and you still haven’t told me what makes you so strong!”She tormented him with her nagging day after day until he was sick to death of it.Finally, Samson shared his secret with her.“ My hair has never been cut,” he confessed,“ for I was dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as anyone else.”Delilah realized he had finally told her the truth, so she sent for the Philistine rulers.“ Come back one more time,” she said,“ for he has finally told me his secret.” So the Philistine rulers returned with the money in their hands.Delilah lulled Samson to sleep with his head in her lap, and then she called in a man to shave off the seven locks of his hair. In this way she began to bring him down, and his strength left him.Then she cried out,“ Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” When he woke up, he thought,“ I will do as before and shake myself free.” But he didn’t realize the Lord had left him.
