Judges 16:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ he told her the whole truth and said to her, “My hair has never been cut,^[a] because I am a Nazirite^(A) to God from birth. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become weak and be like any other man.”

¹⁸ When Delilah realized that he had told her the whole truth, she sent this message to the Philistine leaders: “Come one more time, for he has told me the whole truth.” The Philistine leaders came to her and brought the money with them.

¹⁹ Then she let him fall asleep on her lap and called a man to shave off the seven braids on his head. In this way, she made him helpless,^[b] and his strength left him.
