Judges 16

It took just a couple of minutes to read the last stories of Samson's life. It is interesting to note how freely Samson moved among the Philistines after having caused so much harm among them. It seems that the Philistines feared Samson. After the slaughter at Lehi they had reason to fear him. There the odds were 1,000 to one and God gave Samson the victory. Those his lack of self control led to his capture, Samson's faith in God's power in his life never wavered. This can be seen in his final prayer in verse 18; there Samson called to God for the strength to mete out justice on the rulers of the Philistines. And God answered yes.
