"She nagged him every day and pressured him until he was sick to death of it."
— Judges 16:16, NET Bible
“And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;”
“And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death. ”
“It happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was troubled to death.”
“And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even unto death.”
“So day after day she gave him no peace, for ever questioning him till his soul was troubled to death.”
“And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;”
Delilah said to Samson,“Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you can be subdued.” He said to her,“If you weave the seven braids of my hair into the fabric on the loom and secure it with the pin, I will become weak and be like any other man.”
So she made him go to sleep, wove the seven braids of his hair into the fabric on the loom, fastened it with the pin, and said to him,“The Philistines are here, Samson!” He woke up and tore away the pin of the loom and the fabric.
She said to him,“How can you say,‘I love you,’ when you will not share your secret with me? Three times you have deceived me and have not told me what makes you so strong.”
She nagged him every day and pressured him until he was sick to death of it.
Finally he told her his secret. He said to her,“My hair has never been cut, for I have been dedicated to God from the time I was conceived. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me; I would become weak, and be just like all other men.”
When Delilah saw that he had told her his secret, she sent for the rulers of the Philistines, saying,“Come up here again, for he has told me his secret.” So the rulers of the Philistines went up to visit her, bringing the silver in their hands.
She made him go to sleep on her lap and then called a man in to shave off the seven braids of his hair. She made him vulnerable and his strength left him.
