Samson: The Strong Man’s Strength

Carine Mackenzie – Samson’s parents were told by an angel that God would send them a baby that would be a Nazarene. They were told never to cut his hair because then he would lose his strength. Samson fought with a lion and killed him. He killed many of the Israelite’s enemies. He married a Philistine wife who tried to learn the secret of Samson’s strength. Finally after a number of tries she succeeds. Samson is taken by his enemies and his eyes are put out. The Philistines later have a feast and he prays to God that he can have strength one more time. He leans on the pillars and the house falls flat. Samson is gone.
