So, Delilah went to work trying to find out Samson’s secret to his strength. When they were in bed she whispered, do you truly love me? Samson said, sure I do. So, Delilah said, Samson please tell me where your great strength lies and how you might be bound that one could subdue you. Samson played with her for three times, telling her she could bound him with seven bowstring’s that have not been dried and he would become weak like any other man but that didn’t work. Next, he told her to bind him in new ropes and he would be weak but again that didn’t work. The third time came close to the truth. He told her if she weaved the seven locks of my head with the web and fasten it tight with the pin then he should become weak like any other man but again it did not work and she became frustrated with Samson telling him how can you say I love you when your heart is not with me? Again, Delilah was living up to her name because her name also means frustrated one. So, she pressed Samson day after day trying to find out his secret and finally he told her. He said a razor has never come upon my head for I have been a Nazirite to God in my mother’s womb. If my head is shaved, my strength will leave me and I should become weak like any other man. When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart she sent and called the Lords of the Philistines saying, come up again for he has told me all his heart. And the Lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hands. She made him sleep on her knees. And she called a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. And she began to torment him, and his strength left him. And she said, the Philistines are upon you, Samson! And he awoke from his sleep and said I will go out as at other times and shake myself free. But he did not know that the Lord had left him. As a note, always know Samson’s strength wasn’t in his hair, his strength came from God, and God alone. His hair represented the covenant he made with God as a Nazirite he was never to cut his hair but he disobeyed God and broke his covenant with him. Once that covenant was broken God left him. Thanks guys for stopping by and liking my posts, you guys are AWESOME!!! Until next time.
