Detailed explanation-1: -Delilah, also spelled Dalila, in the Old Testament, the central figure of Samson’s last love story (Judges 16). She was a Philistine who, bribed to entrap Samson, coaxed him into revealing that the secret of his strength was his long hair, whereupon she took advantage of his confidence to betray him to his enemies.
Detailed explanation-2: -[6] And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. [7] And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Detailed explanation-3: -Samson loses his strength and he is captured by the Philistines, who blind him by gouging out his eyes. They then take him to Gaza, imprison him, and put him to work turning a large millstone and grinding grain.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Samson and Delilah, Delilah is the sister of Samson’s wife, and repents cutting off his hair. When Samson prepares to collapse the pillars, Delilah does not follow Samson’s advice to get out and she dies alongside him when the temple collapses.
