Delilah

The story of Delilah is enshrined in the Hebrew Bible's chapter -The Judges (13-16). Samson was a Hebrew man with Herculean figure, possessing awesome strength. But yet then a seducer, named Delilah, caused his death and destruction over allurement of sex. 
Samson entrusted Delilah and told her that his strength would leave him if his hairs were cut off. While Samson was asleep, Delilah called up her men and had them shave off the seven locks from Samson's head - the miracle source of his strength. Samson, who was once known to have wrestled lions, destroyed an entire enemy camp just armed with donkey's jawbone, turned into someone that was as weak as a pussy cat. This made the art of seduction entirely triumph over the mighty strength of the legendary Samson.





Are you Delilah?
