ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK







Samson was a god-fearing man of remarkable physical strength. He was in love with Delilah who belonged to an enemy tribe. She was asked by her people to ferret out the secret of his strength but each time she asked him Samson lied about the real source of his strength. But at last he told her that his hair had never been cut and cutting it would sap his strength. So when, after making love, he fell asleep on her lap she informed her tribe of his secret and they came and cut off his hair and gouged out his eyes.
