Judges 16

Samson falls in love with Delilah, a Philistine woman who betrays him by discovering the source of his strength—his uncut hair as a Nazirite vow to YHWH.[1][2] After she has his hair shaved while he sleeps, YHWH departs from him, and the Philistines capture, blind, and enslave him in Gaza.[1][2]
