Questions 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?
