Why did Delilah cut off Samson's hair which was the source of all his strength?
She was from an enemy tribe- she lured him and deliberately stole his strength...as the story goes.ANS2:The source of Samson's strength was not his hair. His hair was a symbol of the promise he made to God, from Whom his strength came. Her cutting his hair was the symbol of her coming between Samson and his God. After Samson was blinded, he finally 'saw the light' and repented. God gave him his strength back so he could pull down the main pillars and collapse the palace. Delilah's motivation to cut his hair must have come from her desire to control Samson.Mel Gibson could probably describe a similar story.
Did Delilah cut Samson's hair?
After failing three times to get the secret of Samson's strength, she finally wheedled it out of him. Then when he was asleep she called the Philistines and arranged for his hair to be cut. She did not actually do the cutting but had someone do it for her (see Judges 16:19).
Why is the adultery of Samson's wife mentioned in the bible?
It's not. There is no mention of Delilah's adultery, Delilah being Samson's wife, in the Bible. However, Delilah did engage in treason and deceitful behavior, using sex to elicit from Samson the cause of his strength and cutting his hair when she discovered this to be the source of his power.

What is the height of Samson in the Bible?
The Bible does not specify the height of Samson. He was a 'Judge' of Israel who was part of the tribe of Dan and promised to be raised as one dedicated to God - a Nazirite (not a person from the place name Nazarite). He was given supernatural strength from God and this seems to be why many who depict this character in various media make him out to be of large stature. You may read of Samson in the Book of Judges beginning in the 13th chapter. See link below:

Who is the author of the story of Samson and Delilah?
Answer 1The story of Samson and Delilah is one of the most famous in the Old Testament. God gave Samson superhuman strength, but the strength would be taken away if Samson's hair was cut. Samson fell in love with Delilah and eventually told her the secret about his hair being the source of his strength. She shaved his head while he was sleeping, and he was later blinded and enslaved.Answer 2Samson was a man that God raised up to start a war with the Philistines that would last for many years before they were defeated by Israel. Samson was very strong physically and killed many Philistines. Delilah was a woman in whom Samson was interested and the woman who finally discovered the secret of Samson's strength. Actually God was the source of Samson's strength, but Samson believed his strength lay in his hair which had not been cut since birth as he was under a Nazarite vow. You will find their story in Judges, chapters 13 - 16. A very interesting story.
