Which woman deceived the strong man to reveal his power?

Which woman deceived the strong man to reveal his power?

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

Answer: (C)

This item tests knowledge of who deceived the strong man to learn the secret of his power. In the story of Samson, his strength came from God and was connected to his Nazirite vow, symbolized by his uncut hair. Delilah, a Philistine woman, was persuaded to uncover that secret. She pressed Samson for the truth and he eventually told her that his strength depended on his hair. While he slept, she had his hair cut, breaking the vow and causing him to lose his strength, leading to his capture. So Delilah is the one who deceived him to reveal his power. Ruth, Esther, and Naomi are known for other roles in different biblical stories and aren’t related to this deception.
