ArchivesQuestions about Delilah
What is the etymology of Delilah when it means 'delicate' (according to this website)?
According to an other site: http://www.sacrednamebible.com/kjvstrongs/STRHEB18.htm#S1807 Delilah is derived from the Hebrew name Dliylah, whitch comes from the word 'dalal'. It would mean 'languishing'.
Whitch meaning is more likely, delicate or languishing?
I am actually suprised by Delilah's popularity in the USA, because she isn't a very nice character in the Bible. Is there an explanation for the popularity? Maybe a character in a show or something?
