00:00Did you know Samson and Delilah's story might actually be real?
00:08See, Samson was a Nazarite chosen by God to be incredibly strong,
00:13but only as long as he didn't cut his hair.
00:17One day, Samson met Delilah, a beautiful woman from the valley of Sorik,
00:22and he fell in love.
00:24Not long after, the Philistine rulers approached Delilah
00:27and offered her a hefty bribe to find out Samson's secret.
00:32So she started asking him questions, and he lied,
00:36saying that he would lose his power if he was tied with fresh bowstrings.
00:41The Philistines tried this, but Samson easily broke free.
00:46She asked him again, and he told her that new ropes would make him weak.
00:51Again, he broke free.
00:52For the third time, she asked,
00:55And he said that weaving his hair into a loom would make him weak.
01:00So she did just that, but he still had all his strength.
01:04Delilah nagged him every day until he finally told her
01:08that his strength came from his uncut hair, a sign of his vow to God.
01:13That night, Delilah cut his hair while he was sleeping,
01:17and the Philistines came and took him away.
01:19They gouged out his eyes and imprisoned him.
01:23Though betrayed by Delilah,
01:25Samson prayed to God for one last burst of strength.
01:29And when he got it, he destroyed the Philistine temple,
01:33killing himself and many of his enemies.
