Delilah
Delilah, a beautiful woman, was loved by Samson, a strong man who served as the final Judge of Israel. Delilah was bribed by the lords of the Philistines to discover the source of his strength. After three failed attempts at doing so, she finally goaded 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.
