Judges 16:14-17

Living Bible

¹⁴ So while he slept, she did just that and then screamed, “The Philistines have come, Samson!” And he woke up and yanked his hair away, breaking the loom.

¹⁵ “How can you say you love me when you don’t confide in me?” she whined. “You’ve made fun of me three times now, and you still haven’t told me what makes you so strong!”

^16-17 She nagged at him every day until he couldn’t stand it any longer and finally told her his secret.
