He loved a woman in the valley of Sorek. The situation of this place is not known, although Jerome ('Onomast.') mentions a village called Capharsorech, the village of Sorech, north of Eleutheropolis, near Taraa (Zorah, Judges 13:2), where Samson was born; 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.
