Quote #7
When Delilah realized that he had told her his whole secret […] She let him fall asleep on her lap; and she called a man, and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. He began to weaken, and his strength left him. (NRSV 16:18-19)
And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, […] And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. (KJV 16:18-19)
The fact that Samson sleeps on her lap symbolizes the complete faith that he places in her. He willingly surrenders to her, trusting that she won't use this power in a way that will harm him. Why is it so easy sometimes to put our faith in people and things that we shouldn't?
