Answer 1

The story of Samson and Delilah is one of the most famous in the Old Testament. God gave Samson superhuman strength, but the strength would be taken away if Samson's hair was cut. Samson fell in love with Delilah and eventually told her the secret about his hair being the source of his strength. She shaved his head while he was sleeping, and he was later blinded and enslaved.

Answer 2

Samson was a man that God raised up to start a war with the Philistines that would last for many years before they were defeated by Israel. Samson was very strong physically and killed many Philistines. Delilah was a woman in whom Samson was interested and the woman who finally discovered the secret of Samson's strength. Actually God was the source of Samson's strength, but Samson believed his strength lay in his hair which had not been cut since birth as he was under a Nazarite vow. You will find their story in Judges, chapters 13 - 16. A very interesting story.
