Judges 16:16-18

Living Bible

^16-17 She nagged at him every day until he couldn’t stand it any longer and finally told her his secret.

“My hair has never been cut,” he confessed, “for I’ve been a Nazirite to God since before my birth. If my hair were cut, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as anyone else.”

“Come just this once more,” she said, “for this time he has told me everything.”

So they brought the money with them.
