DESPERATE TO STOP SAMSON, FIVE PHILISTINE LEADERS DECIDE TO EMPLOY THE SERVICES OF A HARLOT NAMED DELILAH TO DISCOVER HOW TO RENDER HIM POWERLESS (JUDGES 16:4 - 5). IN THEIR EAGERNESS TO STOP THE STRONG MAN, THEY EACH AGREED TO PAY HER 1,100 SHEKELS OF SILVER.
HOW MUCH IS 5,500 SILVER SHEKELS WORTH TODAY? IF WE ASSUME A MODERN PRICE OF $50 U.S. PER TROY OUNCE, DELILAH WAS OFFERED $100,300!
