Judges 16:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ She nagged him every day with this speech, pestering him until he^[a] was annoyed nearly^[b] to death.

¹⁷ So he finally disclosed everything. He told her,^[c] “A razor has never touched my head, because I’ve been a Nazirite for God before I was born.^[d] If I am shaved, then my strength will abandon me and I will become weak like every human being.”

¹⁸ When Delilah realized that he had disclosed everything^[e] to her, she sent for the Philistine officials and told them, “Hurry up and come here at once, because he has told me everything.”^[f] So the Philistine officials went to her and brought their money with them.
