Judges 16:17-19
Lexham English Bible

17 So he confided everything to her,[a] and he said to her, “A razor has never touched[b] my head, for I am a Nazirite of God[c] from birth.[d] If I am shaved my strength will leave me, and I will become weak, like everyone else.

18 Delilah realized that he had confided in her,[e] so she sent and called the rulers of the Philistines, saying, “Come up one more time, for he has confided in me.”[f] And the rulers of the Philistines came up, and they brought the money with them.[g] 19 And she put him to sleep on her lap; then she called the men[h] and shaved off seven locks of his head. Then she began to subdue him,[i] and his strength went away from him.
