<P> Delilah (/ dɪˈlaɪlə /; Hebrew: דלילה ‎ Dəlilah, Dəlila, Tiberian Hebrew Dəlilah; Arabic Dalilah meaning "faithless one") is a woman mentioned in the sixteenth chapter of the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible . She is loved by Samson, a Nazirite who possesses great strength and serves as the final Judge of Israel . Delilah is bribed by the lords of the Philistines to discover the source of his strength . After three failed attempts at doing so, she finally goads Samson into telling her that his vigor is derived from his hair . As he sleeps, Delilah orders a servant to cut Samson's hair, thereby enabling her to turn him over to the Philistines . </P> <P> Delilah has been the subject of both rabbinic and Christian commentary; rabbinic literature identifies her with Micah's mother in the biblical narrative of Micah's Idol, while some Christians have compared her to Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed Jesus . Scholars have noted similarities between Delilah and other women in the Bible, such as Jael and Judith, and have discussed the question of whether or not the story of Samson's relationship with Delilah displays a negative attitude towards foreigners . Notable depictions of Delilah include John Milton's closet drama Samson Agonistes and Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 Hollywood film Samson and Delilah . Her name has become associated with treacherous and voluptuous women . </P> <P> Delilah was a woman of Sorek . She is the only woman in Samson's story who is named . The Bible says that Samson loved her (Judges 16: 4) but not that she loved him . The two were not married and the idea that they had a sexual relationship is, in the words of Josey Bridges Snyder, "at most implicit in the biblical text". The lords of the Philistines bribed her to discover the source of Samson's great strength, each offering to give her 1,100 silver coins . Three times she failed . </P> <P> First, at his own suggestion, she bound him with "seven green withes," but these he easily snapped asunder . Then she tied him with new ropes: these also failed . Then, she fastened the locks of his hair to the loom but with the same result . Finally, after many complaints that Samson did not trust her, he told her that his strength lay in his hair . Then, when he was asleep, she ordered a servant to cut Samson's hair . She then awoke him, and delivered him into the hands of the waiting Philistine chiefs . </P>
