Next, another notable character in Judges besides Deborah (the only judge who was a prophet(ess)) and Gideon (the skeptic and coward) is Sampson, who's better known when paired with a woman named Delilah i.e. Sampson and Delilah.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77599934 The events surrounding Samson’s conception were clearly out of the ordinary. His mother received a visitation from an angel and she knew her son would be very special. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77607494 Here's a little background on the life of Sampson - before I delve into Judges: Samson Accomplishing God's Purpose the Hard Way Small Excerpt: Ask someone who was the strongest man in the Bible and you’ll likely hear “Samson.” After all, it’s not every day that one hears of a man who kills 1,000 men in hand-to-hand combat. Armed with only the jawbone of a donkey, Samson was one tough adversary (Judges 15:15). Set during the time of Israel’s judges some 3,000 years ago, Samson’s life was a highly unusual one—yet one that bears lessons for us today.... As we consider Samson’s life, it is important for us to understand from the outset that God is not calling men today to imitate Samson’s conduct. As a physical, carnal nation, ancient Israel waged war with other nations. New Testament Christians, however, look to future citizenship in God’s Kingdom, which is not of this world, and do not fight in physical warfare, being ministers of life, not death (see Matthew 5:38-39, 43-44; John 18:36; 2 Corinthians 3:6)...

Furthermore, like everyone, Samson did some things right and he also made mistakes - Big ones!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75781109 Finally - Sampson God it!! Samson clearly understood God’s purpose for his life—to weaken the Philistine nation... Did he?
