Did Delilah give this information to the Philistines?

Yes. She did so quickly, and accepted their money in return. While Samson was asleep, she called in a barber to shave his head. Then Delilah cried, “The Philistines be upon thee, Samson!” (KJV, Judges 16:20) Samson woke up expecting to best the Philistines as he had done before. Because his hair was gone, however, he could not. The power of God was gone from him.
