Judges 16:16-18
International Standard Version
16 She nagged him every day with this speech, pestering him until he[a] was annoyed nearly[b] to death.
17 So he finally disclosed everything. He told her,[c] “A razor has never touched my head, because I’ve been a Nazirite for God before I was born.[d] If I am shaved, then my strength will abandon me and I will become weak like every human being.”
18 When Delilah realized that he had disclosed everything[e] to her, she sent for the Philistine officials and told them, “Hurry up and come here at once, because he has told me everything.”[f] So the Philistine officials went to her and brought their money with them.
