The article opines that Goliath is the best-known Philistine now. But what about Delilah? Sexist author!

I thought Delilah was a Hebrew sent to seduce him...but I may have remembered it incorrectly.

I’m not much on the Bible, but I don’t think Delilah was Philistine. Otherwise why did the Philistines have to bribe her to find out Samson’s weakness.

You were right—she was likely not Hebrew, although given a Hebrew name.

Delilah is a Hebrew name. Scholars speculate that she was most likely an Hebrew living among the Philistines

"But what about Delilah?"

She has a late night radio show for the sad and melancholy

Which begs the question:

What was a nice Jewish boy like Samson doing dating a shiksa like Delilah in the first place?................
