Solomon Hair

This is the story of Samson, the strong man

However, the Israelites began to adore gods again, and God punished them once more under the might of their antagonists. The Philistines, a powerful and belligerent nation, inhabited the plains of western Israel next to the Great Sea.

The Philistines sent their army from the plains by the seaside into the hills of Israel and overrun all the Israel. And they took all their sword and spear from the Israelites, so that they could not battle; and they took their lands from all their harvests, so that the nation was suffering for lack of forage.

There was a man called Manoah in the tribal lands of Dan, near the Philistines. "Thou shalt have a child, and when he is grown up he will begin to deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philistines. However, your boy must never be drinking alcohol or heavy drinks as long as he has.

His hair must be long and must never be trimmed off, for he will be a Nazarite under a solemn oath to the LORD. "In particular, when a baby was given to God, or when a person gave himself to work for God, he was prohibited from drinking alcohol, and as a token his hair was let growing long while his vows or promises to God were on him.

His name was Samson. Like Gideon or Jephthah, Samson was not a general who called his warriors. But all he did was to free his own kind. And Samson went to Timnath, into the Philistines' country, when he was young.

He saw a young lady whom he was in love with and wanted her to be his lawful wedded wife. 2. He was unhappy for his dad and mom to get married among the foes of his own nation. But they did not know that God would make this union a means to hurt the Philistines and help the Israelites.

When Samson went to Timnath to see this young lady, a starving Leo came out of the hill and shouted at him. Then Samson grabbed the beast and ripped it up as easy as another man would have done with a little goat child and set off.

Then Samson went back to Timnath to marry the Phylist. "I' m giving you a riddle," Samson said. "From the eaters came flesh, and from the stronger came sweet. You don't find out, we're gonna torch your home and we' re gonna torch you and all your family.

" Finally Samson gave in and recounted to his bride how he had slain the beast and found the honey there. Soon before the end of the festival they came to Samson with the reply. "And Samson said to them: "With his" cow", who is a young one.

And then Samson had to give them thirty overalls. So he went among the Philistines, took off the first thirty men he found and took off their robes and gave them to the people. All this made Samson very upset. After a while Samson's wrath went away and he went back to Timnath to see his woman.

" Samson wouldn't take his wife's sis. The Philistines were very furious and decided to hurt him because they had betrayed him. He unleashed these firebirns on their cocks in the Philistine field when the corn was ready. The Philistines, when they saw their crops annihilated, said: "Who did this?

" Samson did so because his woman was given by her fathers to another man. "The Philistines saw Samson's father-in-law as the cause of their losses; and they burnt down his house and burnt down the man and the woman who had marry Samson.

Samson came down and battled a group of Philistines alone and slain them all as a penalty for cremating his own family. Then Samson went to a cave in a cleft cliff named the cliff of Etam. So the Philistines came up in a great host and overrun the tribal lands of Judah.

" "We', they said,'came to tie Samson up and treat him the way he treated us. "The men of Judah said to Samson: Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What are you making her mad by murdering her men for? We must tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines, or they will destroy us all.

" Samson said: I will let you keep me if you pledge not to murder me, but to put me securely in the Philistines' hand. "and Samson gave himself to them and let them rope him up with new rope.

When the Philistines saw their enemies bound by their own nation, they cried out with a smile. As soon as Samson came under them, he broke the shackles as if they had been weak threads, and lifted the jaw bone of a donkey from the floor and beat with it to the right and the left as if with a dagger.

He' s the one who murdered almost a thousand Philistines with this peculiar gun. "Then Samson went to the capital of the Philistines, called Gaza. The men of Gaza, when they found Samson in their town, closed the doors and thought they could keep him as a captive.

Then Samson got up at dawn, went to the goals, took their poles out of the floor and put the goals with their poles on his shoulders. Then Samson saw another Philistine wife and fell in love with her. She was Delilah. And the Philistines came to Delilah and said unto her:

"If you can find out what makes Samson so powerful. Delilah persuaded and asked Samson to tell her what made him so powerful. said Samson to her: "When they bind me with seven branches of grass from a single forest, I will no longer be powerful.

" And they took her seven branches of grass, like a field, and she tied Samson to them while he slept. "The Philistines are waking up to you, Samson! "And Samson arose and brake the branches as lightly as if they had been burnt in the fire, and went away with aplomb.

Delilah tried to find his mystery again. "And Samson said: "I can' t leave them. Let me tie them up with new rope that's never been used before. "While Samson was sleeping again, Delilah tied him up with new cables. "Rise, Samson, for the Philistines are to come!

" When Samson got up, the cables snapped like a string. Delilah pushed him again to tell her, and he said: "that my long hair is in seven curls. "Then while he was sleeping, she weaved his hair into the loom and attached it to the frames with a large needle.

And when he woke up, he stood up and took away the needle and the bar of the woven framework, for he was as mighty as before. Delilah, who was determined to minister to her own kind, said: "I' m a Nazarite, under a promise to the Lord not to swallow alcohol and not to allow my hair to be clipped.

When I had my hair clipped, the Lord would leave me and my power would go away, and I would be like other people. "Then Delilah knew she had finally found the true deed. And she called the Lords of the Philistines, and said:

" While the Philistines were outside, Delilah let Samson lie on his knee with his skull. As he slept soundly, they took a straight knife and shave all his hair. "The Philistines are after you, Samson. "He woke up and stood up in the expectation of feeling stronger again, for at first he did not know that his long hair had been shed.

So the Philistines made him their captive, and so that he could never hurt them again, they put out their bow. They bound him in chains and sent him to Gaza. They had Samson ground a large grindstone in jail as if he were a pack animal.

And while Samson was in jail his hair again began to grow long, and with his hair his power came back to him; for Samson renews his vows to the Lord. Then the Philistines celebrated a great festival in the house of Dagon, the king of the sea. "We have received Samson, our foe.

" There were many men in the house, and the top of the house was full of more than three thousand men and wives. And Samson was brought into the courtyard of the house of the LORD, before all the nations, to entertain them. And after a while, Samson said to the kid who was guiding him:

" While Samson was standing between the two columns, he prayed: "O "O Lord God, remind me and give me power this once, O God, and help me to avenge the Philistines for my two beasts! "and the Philistines. He was among the deceased, but in his own demise he was killing more of the Philistines than he had slain in his own time.

And in the horror that came upon the Philistines, the men of Samson's clan came down and found his corpse, and laid them to rest in their own country. Then the Philistines took years to reign over the Israelites. He did much to free his own nation; but he could have done much more if he had guided his own nation instead of relying solely on his own power; and if he had been more serious and had not done his acts as if he had played tricks.

In Samson there were profound mistakes, but in the end he looked for God's help and found it, and God used Samson to free his population.
