Samson’s First Wife

In Judges 14, we meet Samson’s first wife.

His love is short-lived.

The story reads like a contemporary tabloid account of two celebrities.

Prayer of Revenge

After Samson was pestered into confessing the source of his great strength to Delilah, the Philistines captures him and poked out his eyes.

In response, Samson prayed to be given super-human strength to kill thousands of people, even while killing himself.

Samson

Samson’s miraculous birth was announced unsolicited.

But his father, Manoah, prayed for the return of the Lord’s angel to ask how to raise their special child.
