In chapter 16, in the book of Judges, Samson fell in love with Delilah. But what Samson didn't know was that five Philistine kings bribed her with a silver pieces if she would find out the secret to Samson's power.
She tried again and again, with each failed attempt making her look like a fool. Then, one night, Samson was tired and told her about his hair. She knew this was the truth, and had his hair cut and thrown in bronze chains.
The Philistine kings rejoiced. They threw a grand feast. What they didn't know was that Samson's hair was starting to row back. They brought him to the feast and set him up between two pillars. Samson prayed to God for one last ounce of strength to push the pillars over. God complied. Samson pushed the pillars over, killing everyone inside, from the Philistine kings to himself.
