Samson had great physical power…and Delilah was determined to know the secret of his strength. And so she began to nag, hound, and complain to him. Very telling, the name Delilah means tease…a persistent, irritating person who goads on others…and taking nagging to an art-form. Samson might have had superior physical strength…but he was no match for Delilah’s sharp tongue.
