And the people of Israel again did
what was evil in the sight of
the Lord, so the Lord gave them
into the hand of the Philistines
for forty years. There was a
certain man of Zorah, of the tribe
of the Danites, whose name was
Manoah. And his wife was barren
and had no children. And the angel
of the Lord appeared to the woman
and said to her, “Behold, you are
barren and have not borne
children, but you shall conceive
and bear a son. Therefore be
careful and drink no wine or
strong drink, and eat nothing
unclean, for behold, you shall
conceive and bear a son. No razor
shall come upon his head, for the
child shall be a Nazirite to God
from the womb, and he shall begin
to save Israel from the hand of
the Philistines.” ...
(Judges 13:1-16:31)
ESV
And the Spirit of the Lord rushed
upon him, and he went down to
Ashkelon and struck down thirty
men of the town and took their
spoil and gave the garments to
those who had told the riddle. In
hot anger he went back to his
father's house.
(Judges 14:19)

So Samson went and caught 300
foxes and took torches. And he
turned them tail to tail and put a
torch between each pair of tails.
(Judges 15:4)

torches, he let the foxes go into
the standing grain of the
Philistines and set fire to the
stacked grain and the standing
grain, as well as the olive
orchards.
(Judges 15:5)
ESV
And he was very thirsty, and he
called upon the Lord and said,
“You have granted this great
salvation by the hand of your
servant, and shall I now die of
thirst and fall into the hands of
the uncircumcised?”
(Judges 15:18)

Samson went to Gaza, and there he
saw a prostitute, and he went in
to her. The Gazites were told,
“Samson has come here.” And they
surrounded the place and set an
ambush for him all night at the
gate of the city. They kept quiet
all night, saying, “Let us wait
till the light of the morning;
then we will kill him.” But Samson
lay till midnight, and at midnight
he arose and took hold of the
doors of the gate of the city and
the two posts, and pulled them up,
bar and all, and put them on his
shoulders and carried them to the
top of the hill that is in front
of Hebron. After this he loved a
woman in the Valley of Sorek,
whose name was Delilah. And the
lords of the Philistines came up
to her and said to her, “Seduce
him, and see where his great
strength lies, and by what means
we may overpower him, that we may
bind him to humble him. And we
will each give you 1,100 pieces of
silver.” ...
(Judges 16:1-31)
ESV
Then Delilah said to Samson,
“Until now you have mocked me and
told me lies. Tell me how you
might be bound.” And he said to
her, “If you weave the seven locks
of my head with the web and fasten
it tight with the pin, then I
shall become weak and be like any
other man.”
(Judges 16:13)
ESV
And she said to him, “How can you
say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart
is not with me? You have mocked me
these three times, and you have
not told me where your great
strength lies.”
(Judges 16:15)
ESV
She made him sleep on her knees.
And she called a man and had him
shave off the seven locks of his
head. Then she began to torment
him, and his strength left him.
(Judges 16:19)
ESV
And she said, “The Philistines are
upon you, Samson!” And he awoke
from his sleep and said, “I will
go out as at other times and shake
myself free.” But he did not know
that the Lord had left him.
(Judges 16:20)
ESV
And the Philistines seized him and
gouged out his eyes and brought
him down to Gaza and bound him
with bronze shackles. And he
ground at the mill in the prison.

Then Samson called to the Lord and
said, “O Lord God, please remember
me and please strengthen me only
this once, O God, that I may be
avenged on the Philistines for my
two eyes.”
(Judges 16:28)
ESV
And Samson said, “Let me die with
the Philistines.” Then he bowed
with all his strength, and the
house fell upon the lords and upon
all the people who were in it. So
the dead whom he killed at his
death were more than those whom he
had killed during his life.
(Judges 16:30)

Do not be unequally yoked with
unbelievers. For what partnership
has righteousness with
lawlessness? Or what fellowship

time would fail me to tell of
Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah,
of David and Samuel and the
prophets—
(Hebrews 11:32)
