MANOA: Some [Philistine lords] much averse I found and wondrous harsh, contemptuous, proud, set on revenge and spite; that part most reverenc'd Dagon and his priests (1461-1464)

Manoa is making a connection between being devout to a false religion and being a bad person. So it's not just enough to be religious: you have to be the right kind of religious. Hm. It's not looking too good for Dalila.
