Girls Gone Wild
Part 2
Delilah:
By Brian Mills

Seduction! What does it mean?
1 : to persuade to disobedience or disloyalty2 : to lead astray usually by persuasion or false promises

Delilah Seduced Samson….

Delilah means in Hebrew “Flirt”

Judges 16:4 Samson fell in love w. a woman in the valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah.

Judges 16:3 Samson was in bed with the woman (Prostitule) until midnight. Then he got up, seized the doors of the city gate and the two gateposts, bolts and all, hefted them on his shoulder, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.

Judges 166So Delilah said to Samson, "Tell me, dear, the secret of your great strength, and how you can be tied up and humbled." 7Samson told her, "If they were to tie me up with seven bowstrings--the kind made from fresh animal tendons, not dried out--then I would become weak, just like anyone else." 8The Philistine tyrants brought her seven bowstrings, not dried out, and she tied him up with them. 9The men were waiting in ambush in her room. Then she said, "The Philistines are on you, Samson!" He snapped the cords as though they were mere threads. The secret of his strength was still a secret. 10Delilah said, "Come now, Samson--you're playing with me, making up stories. Be serious; tell me how you can be tied up." 11He told her,"If you were to tie me up tight with new ropes, ropes never used for work, then I would be helpless, just like anybody else." 12So Delilah got some new ropes and tied him up. She said, "The Philistines are on you, Samson!" The men were hidden in the next room. He snapped the ropes from his arms like threads. 13Delilah said to Samson, "You're still playing games with me, teasing me with lies. Tell me how you can be tied up." He said to her, "If you wove the seven braids of my hair into the fabric on the loom and drew it tight, then I would be as helpless as any other mortal." When she had him fast asleep, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the fabric on the loom 14and drew it tight. Then she said, "The Philistines are on you, Samson!" He woke from his sleep and ripped loose from both the loom and fabric! 15She said, "How can you say "I love you' when you won't even trust me? Three times now you've toyed with me, like a cat with a mouse, refusing to tell me the secret of your great strength." 16She kept at it day after day, nagging and tormenting him. Finally, he was fed up--he couldn't take another minute of it. 17He spilled it. He told her, "A razor has never touched my head. I've been God's Nazirite from conception. If I were shaved, my strength would leave me; I would be as helpless as any other mortal." 18When Delilah realized that he had told her his secret, she sent for the Philistine tyrants, telling them, "Come quickly--this time he's told me the truth." They came, bringing the bribe money. 19When she got him to sleep, his head on her lap, she motioned to a man to cut off the seven braids of his hair. Immediately he began to grow weak. His strength drained from him. 20Then she said, "The Philistines are on you, Samson!" He woke up, thinking, "I'll go out, like always, and shake free." He didn't realize that GOD had abandoned him. 21The Philistines grabbed him, gouged out his eyes, and took him down to Gaza. They shackled him in irons and put him to the work of grinding in the prison.
