SAMSON IV: STRONG IN THE LORD; THE SECRET PLACE ì
LEARNING TO WIN THE BATTLE WITH SIN
(Judges 16:4-21 NIV)
§(4) Some time later, he fell in love with a ì
woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was ì
Delilah. (5) The rulers of the Philistines went ì
to her and said, "See if you can lure him into ì
showing you the secret of his great strength ì
and how we can overpower him so we may tie him ì
up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you ì
eleven hundred shekels of silver." (6) So ì
Delilah said to Samson, "Tell me the secret of ì
your great strength and how you can be tied up ì
and subdued." (7) Samson answered her, "If ì
anyone ties me with seven fresh thongs that ì
have not been dried, I'll become as weak as any ì
other man." (8) Then the rulers of the ì
Philistines brought her seven fresh thongs that ì
had not been dried, and she tied him with them. ì
(9) With men hidden in the room, she called to ì
him, "Samson, the Philistines are upon you!" ì
But he snapped the thongs as easily as a piece ì
of string snaps when it comes close to a flame. ì
So the secret of his strength was not ì
discovered. (15) Then she said to him, "How can ì
you say, `I love you,' when you won't confide ì
in me? This is the third time you have made a ì
fool of me and haven't told me the secret of ì
your great strength." (16) With such nagging ì
she prodded him day after day until he was ì
tired to death. (17) So he told her everything. ì
"No razor has ever been used on my head," he ì
said, "because I have been a Nazirite set apart ì
to God since birth. If my head were shaved, my ì
strength would leave me, and I would become as ì
weak as any other man." (18) When Delilah saw ì
that he had told her everything, she sent word ì
to the rulers of the Philistines, "Come back ì
once more; he has told me everything." So the ì
