Delilah fails in her first two attempts to sexually lure Samson into disclosing to her the secret of his strength, but she didn’t give up and pressed further for the third time.
On his part, Samson refused to go away, but rather remained on the laps of Delilah because he had broken the vow. Sin is dangerous because it is capable of making a person to get more and more callous; more and more hardened; more and more brash and more brazen. When a person gets involved in sexual scandalous sin; that was never the first step. If a person doesn’t handle his “Timnaths,” he is going to end up in Gaza.
Delilah came the third time and said to Samson, “Until now you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me what you may be bound with.” Delilah was coming nearer because Samson was having sex with her and had completely broken the vow. He had defiled himself and as you defile yourself, that is how the anointing will go. As you live in adultery, the anointing will go. The enemy will tell you, live in adultery, you will get more power to do exploits.
The first time, Samson escaped; the second time, he escaped and the third time, he escaped but in her fourth try, her words seem to have an effect on Samson. Delilah said to him, how could you say that you love me, when your heart is not with me? You have lied to me three times and have not told me where your great strength lies. The Bible said it came to pass when she pestered him daily, he told her the secret of his strength. Why did he remain there? The man was dying in stages.
