Who tricked Samson into revealing the secret of his strength?

• A. Ruth
• B. Esther
• C. Hannah
• D. Delilah

Answer: (D)

This question tests your knowledge of who deceived Samson about the source of his strength. Delilah is the one who was bribed by the Philistines to find out how Samson kept such great power. She repeatedly pressed him, and though he lied a few times, he finally revealed that his strength came from his Nazarite vow and, specifically, his hair. When she had his hair cut while he slept, his strength left him and the Philistines captured him. The other two women mentioned—Ruth and Esther—are figures from different Bible stories, and Hannah is known for praying for a child; none of them tricked Samson.
