And though the Philistines were his enemies, Samson fell in love with a Philistine woman named Delilah.  \nJudges 15:20; 16:4  \nOne day the five Philistine kings came to Delilah and said,“Find out the secret to Samson’s strength and how to overpower him. If you do this, then we will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”  \nJudges 16:5, 3:3  \nSo Delilah said to Samson,“Please tell me the secret of your great strength, and what someone must do to make you weak.”  \nJudges 16:6  \nThen Samson said,“If anyone ties me up with seven new bowstrings, then I will become as weak as any other man.”  \nJudges 16:7  \nSo when Samson was asleep, she tied him up with seven new bowstrings. Then she shouted,“Samson, the Philistines are coming to capture you!”  \nJudges 16:8-9  \nSamson quickly jumped up and broke the bowstrings as if they were threads burned ina fire.  \nJudges 16:9","cbCaifQ9oS5cproH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifQ9oS5cproH","pdf",7168929,1,25,"English","en",105,"# Samson and Delilah\n## Judges 15-16\n## Biblical Narrative","[{\"question\":\"Who were the main characters in the story of Samson and Delilah?\",\"answer\":\"The main characters are Samson, a man of great strength, and Delilah, a Philistine woman with whom Samson fell in love.\"},{\"question\":\"What was Delilah's motivation for betraying Samson?\",\"answer\":\"Delilah was motivated by the offer of 1,100 pieces of silver from each of the five Philistine kings if she could discover the secret to Samson's strength.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Delilah discover the secret of Samson's strength?\",\"answer\":\"After persistent questioning, Samson finally revealed that his strength came from his uncut hair.
