revenge. The chapter began as Samson returned to visit his wife, at least what he
thought was his wife. However, his would-be-father-in-law would not allow him to see
his wife because he’d already given her away to Samson’s friend. He did this
because he believed Samson was upset that she gave up his riddle to those men at
their wedding feast. So Samson’s would-be-father-in-law offered Samson’s would-be
wife’s younger sister a unique selling proposition; she was prettier than her sister.
Samson was not pleased with the slight and misfortune, so he set the Philistines
vineyards on fire as the repayment. The Philistines were upset about this and
searched for who was responsible. They found out who burned their vineyards and
why and set out to settle the score. What did they do? They burned his ex-wife and
her father’s household as well, to death. Sounds like organized crime type of
retaliation by the Philistines. They were like the mafia. Samson wasn’t done with
them, as he broke the hips and thighs of a bunch of them for their infraction. The
Philistines didn’t give up either and came after him. They invaded Judah looking for
Samson and told the men of Judah they came to bind Samson. The men of Judah
ask Samson to turn himself in. Samson agreed as long as Judah didn’t attempt to kill
him. The Philistines meant to kill him, but the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson,

concluded stating that Samson judged Israel twenty years because of his great
defeat of the Philistines. Judges chapter 16 summary began with a not so “Godly”
story of Samson. He heads up to Gaza and gets a prostitute and lays with her. While
in Gaza, some Philistines spot him and lay there waiting for him to kill him. He
triumphantly got out of that. The chapter switches to a time he met a woman he
loved named Delilah. What’s odd is that the Philistines were already on her to entice
him and find out his secret to his strength. They were going to pay her eleven
hundred pieces of silver. Delilah was all about the money and went to work pressing
Samson for his secret to his strength. He gave phony answers at first. After much
pressing, Samson told Delilah his secret, and she had his locks shaved off. When he
was ambushed, he realized he had no strength. The Philistines put his eyes out and
imprisoned him. His hair grows back and he implores the Lord to help him one more
time. Chained to the pillars of the building, he is able to knock them down, destroying
the building. He killed 3,000 lords of the Philistines and himself also. His brothers
came and buried him and Samson judged Israel 20 years.
