Samson had amazing strength, he had amazing strength, not because he was a Nazarite or because God gave him strength but because of both. I'm not writing because of his amazing strength, but because of what he did.
The Philistines hated Israel and wanted to take it. Samson was one of Israel's strongest men, and the Philistines wanted to kill him. So they paid Delilah ( Samson's wife ) to find his weakness. So she tempted him. He then ends up telling her his weakness.
That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, there hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strenth will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. Judges 16:17.
So she laid him upon her lap and cut his hair, while he was sleeping. Then she tied ropes around him and said " The Philistines be upon thee." He then woke up and could not break the ropes.Then she handed him over to the Philistines. They set him between two pillers and then rejoiced.
And Samson called called unto the Lord and said" O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistiens for my two eyes. Judges 16:28.
Then Samson with all his might, pulled down the pillers. Then the roof came down on Samson and all the Philistines that were gathered there. Those that were slain there were more than he had killed in his life time!
Samson was a great hero, at least in my mind. Read Judges 13-16 to read the whole life of Samson. Thank you for reading. God bless!
