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.

If this is a quiz question, to which you require the answer, I expect the answer required is Delilah, who was responsible for cutting off the hair of Samson. However, if this is the answer required by the quiz setter, this is totally incorrect. Delilah did not cut off the hair of Samson, but called for a servant to do it. The servant was male, not female:Judges 16:18When Delilah saw that he had told her everything, she sent word to the rulers of the Philistines, "Come back once more; he has told me everything." So the rulers of the Philistines returned with the silver in their hands. Having put him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him.There are no records of a female barber in the Bible.

Who cut samsons hair?
It was not, in fact, Delilah that cut off Samson's hair. First of all, we should note Samson's head was shaved, not clipped.

So, it seems poor Delilah has received a good deal of bad press she didn't deserve.
