In the account of Delilah, what specifically caused the Lord to depart from Samson?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The shaving of his head
Judges 16:20 notes that when he awoke with his head shaved, he did not know that 'the Lord had departed from him.' The hair was the sign of his vow; its removal broke the covenant of his strength.
