DELILAH

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 962 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DELILAH , in the Bible, the heroine of Samson's last love-story and the cause of his downfall (Judg. xvi.). She was a
Philistine
  of Sorek (mod. Surik), west of Zorah, and when her countrymen offered her an enormous bribe to betray him, she set to
work
  to find out the source of his strength. Thrice Samson scoffingly told her how he might be bound, and thrice he readily broke the bonds with which she had fettered him in his sleep; seven green bow-strings, new
ropes
 , and even the braiding of his
hair
  into the
frame
  of the loom failed to secure him. At length he disclosed the
secret
  of his
power
 . Delilah put him to sleep upon her lap, called in a man to shave off his seven locks, and this
time
  he was easily captured. See SAMSON.
