Samson, Hebrew Shimshon, legendary Israelite warrior and judge, or divinely inspired leader, renowned for the prodigious strength that he derived from his uncut hair. He is portrayed in the biblical Book of Judges (chapters 13–16).

Cool, also it is quite likely that many of these biblical figures had turbans as well

ancient jews wore dastars instead of hats . SAmson was a Nazarite a male dedicated to God for a particular holy task , and he never cut his hair due to this promised state/covenant . Similarly Jesus/yeshua was a Nazarite thus the kesh .

Lurker bhai sahib why are you so sad that you are searching for my posts to downvote , vivaah nahin hoya , job nahin milli , ki aa?

Really interesting. Remember local radio mentioning this but couldn't remember the name. Thanks for sharing

In Zoroastrianism or Ancient Persian religions, they too wore similar to dastars and kept kes.

It was his lover who betrayed him! Delilah. 

God told him not not to cut his hair and not reveal the secret of his strength to anyone. God also told his mother not to drink alcohol.

His biggest weakness was kaam! he ended up in a relationship with a woman from another tribe, the philistines. Men from her community set her on fire. He still didn't learn and ended up with another woman from the same tribe, Delilah!

He broke Gods command and told her the secret of his strength, his hair. She then told the men of her community his secret and they told her if she cuts his hair they will give her gold coins! and she went for the coins (surprise surprise)   

She then cut his hair and the philistine men came and gouged his eyes out.

Moral of the story, women and kaam can destroy your dharam!

Moral of the story is read Charitropakhyan and thank Guru Sahib for giving us this baani.

Nihangs used to keep charitropakhyan In their quiver of arrows.

Manuscript of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib is also preserved in the library of Punjab University, Chandigarh. Another manuscript of charitropakhayan of 1723 is also preserved in Punjab University library. It is called “Turkish ki pothi”. Nihung Singhs used to keep it in their tarkash (Arrow carrier) during war.It is a pity that they have maintained a high character till today that when they knock on someone’s door, people say, “Aa gaye Nihung, booha khol de nishung (Open the door without hesitation as they are Nihungs). They read this Bani and people consider them as saviors of respect and dignity of ladies. But these atheists like scholars of Kala Afghana school of thought smell profanity in these stories which in essence are moral imparting.

Does this mean men who go bald lose their strength? Genuine question.
