Samson was a Nazirite from birth, which included special vows to God (Numbers chapter 6). One of these vows was to not cut his hair while under this distinction. His God-given strength was tied into his being a Nazirite. His wife, Delilah, was a Philistine woman and did not love Samson the way he loved her. For profit she betrayed him and got him to admit where his great strength came from. She then cut his hair while he was asleep and that ended him being a Nazirite, and this ended his God-given strength. The Philistines than were able to capture him.

∙ 8y agoOn the simplest level, because he was subject to the restrictions of Numbers ch.6 and wasn't supposed to cut his hair (Judges 13:5). Once he enabled Delilah to shave his head, he lost his God-given strength (Judges ch.16).On a deeper level, he was amiss in marrying a Philistine woman (Talmud, Sotah 9b) instead of taking one of his own people; and it was she (Delilah) who proved to be his undoing.
