DELILAH CORRUPTED BY THE PHILISTINES. (Jdg 16:4-14) he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek--The location of this place is not known, nor can the character of Delilah be clearly ascertained. Her abode, her mercenary character, and her heartless blandishments afford too much reason to believe she was a profligate woman.
