Judges 16:6-21
Be careful who your friends are. Samson ended up mutilated and in slavery because he did not leave Delilah. She was never his lawful wife, but he loved her and he would not leave her. Delilah was obviously trying to do something tricky with Samson, but he just kept coming back.
Samson needed to get out and meet some new people. Samson needed to spend some time with people who honoured God. Samson had been associating with twisted people so long he thought it was normal. He needed to heed the wisdom of God and stay away form these people.
This is articulated well in Proverbs 1:10-19, though Samson would not have had access to that, since it was not yet written.
Be kind to many, but trust few.
