Now let me explain what I said above. As you posted Samson took a vow to God and then broke that vow, he sinned against God and God took his power. Delilah was an instrument in God's work, if you hadn't given up on the rest of the story you might have seen what I'm explaining. Samson's power was restored even though his hair had been cut off, the whole time it was God's power within Samson, some of the same power that created the universe.

Now let me explain what it says in the bible, it says he lost his power by her cutting his hair.
But also, the whole story is just stupid, I am struggling to understand how a grown person can even for a second find it convincing.

No matter what god wants done, Satan jumps to it; no matter what evil he wants committed, Satan tries to fulfill it. And even at that he is only in the bush leagues compared to god when it comes to killing innocents only killing ten people to more than 2.5 million (not including the flood where uncounted millions were killed).
Aren't you lucky you worship a being from a fictional fantasy folio?
Isnt satan working for god as his jailor!
Isnt it supposed to be an angel who sends people to hell!
The whole Satan rebelling against god thing is an invention of later christianity, largely popularised by people like John Milton (which is ironic given his hardline protestantism, sola scriptura and all that). Hell, or its equivalent isn't mentioned in the OT (in fact the jewish equivalent of hell, Gehenna, was likely invented in response to the christian version) so there's nowhere for Satan to rule. And if you look at the gospels, everything he does to Jesus is what yhwh tells him to do.
