Dalila

Dalila Dalila Who was Dalila? She was a woman with whom the Israeli judge Samson fell in love. - Judges 16: 4, 5. What did she do? She accepted money from Philistine officials to betray Samson. Jehovah was using Samson to deliver the Israelites from the Philistines. The Philistines were unable to defeat Samson because of the incredible strength he had gained from God. (Judges 13: 5) Then the Philistine officers asked for Delilah's help. The Philistines bribed Delilah and asked her to find out how Samson had gained his strength. Delilah took the bribe and, after several attempts, she discovered Samson's secret. (Judges 16: 15-17) Then, she told the Philistines what she had discovered. With that, they managed to defeat and arrest Samson. - Judges 16: 18-21. What can we learn from Delilah? Dalila is a bad example. Out of greed, she acted disloyally and selfishly and deceived a servant of Jehovah.
