In the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah— The valley of Sorek, through which passed the river of the same name, and where, in the times of Eusebius and St. Jerome, stood the village of Cephar-sorek, was situated to the north of Eleutheropolis, near Zorah, the place of Samson's birth. This place, famous for its vines, was about a mile and a half from Eshcol, whence the spies brought their bunch of grapes. Here it was that Samson had the misfortune to become acquainted with Delilah. St. Chrysostom and some others affect, that Samson married her; but it seems much more probable, that she was only his concubine: and so Josephus understands it. Samson, unhappily, abandoned himself entirely to her; and her method of proceeding proves, that she was not only a Philistine, but a woman of very despicable character.
