<P> Delilah was a woman of Sorek . She is the only woman in Samson 's story who is named . The Bible says that Samson loved her ( Judges 16 : 4 ) but not that she loved him . The two were not married and the idea that they had a sexual relationship is , in the words of Josey Bridges Snyder , `` at most implicit in the biblical text '' . The lords of the Philistines bribed her to discover the source of Samson 's great strength , each offering to give her 1,100 silver coins . Three times she failed . </P>
