Are you sure you mean Delilah and not Deborah? Deborah was a judge in the Bible. Delilah betrayed Samson and let his hair be cut.

I think she was referring to (the assumption of?) Delilah being a Philistine working for Philistines. The story of Judith killing Holofernes is similar, and she gets praise for it in the bible, because she was Judean.
