Source: https://enocharchive.com/characters/maksaba (Enoch Archive).

Maksaba was queen of the Philistines and wife of their king Kwolason. She was the sister of Delilah. When Samson slew the king with his people and household and died with him, Delilah went to Maksaba. Both women were beautiful. They had no children but both had conceived, Maksaba being six months pregnant by Kwolason and Delilah four months pregnant by Samson. Their husbands were dead.

The two loved each other exceedingly like mother and child and lived together. Dominion over those left after Samson's slaughter was in Maksaba's hands. She brought forth a man-child. The Philistines rejoiced, did homage, and seated her son on his father's throne as their king. Her son was slain by Akamhel the son of Samson.
