Samson and Delilah: Love and Betrayal (1996x14)

Air date: Aug 22, 1996

Feared and revered for slaying thousands of Philistine people with a donkey's jawbone, the Hebrew judge Samson was one of the strongest men in the Bible. But he did have one weakness: his love for a Philistine courtesan named Delilah. This installment of A&E's popular "Biography" series explores the legendary love affair that was built on passion and -- unbeknownst to Samson -- betrayal, as Delilah was being paid to deplete her lover's strength.
