Samson's Compromise
Historical Account★★★★After Samson loved a woman named Delilah, the Philistines approached her and offered 1100 pieces of silver each if she could find out where his great strength lies. She pestered him daily until he revealed that his strength was in his uncut hair. When he slept on her knees, she had his hair cut off and he lost his strength.
Arnall, Jeremy, “03 Compromised” (AudioVerse teaching 45375).
The point
Delilah is bribed by the Philistines to discover Samson's secret of strength, leading him to reveal that it lies in his uncut hair. She betrays him, cutting off his hair and causing him to lose his power.
