Judges 16 Samson and Delilah

Judges 16 recounts the tragic story of Samson’s fall and ultimate redemption. Samson’s strength was tied to his Nazirite vow, but his poor choices, especially his relationship with Delilah, led to betrayal. Delilah revealed the secret of his strength—his uncut hair—and Samson was captured, blinded, and imprisoned by the Philistines. In his final act, Samson prayed to God for strength, bringing down the Philistine temple and defeating thousands of enemies, including himself. Despite Samson’s failures, God’s plans prevailed, showing His power is greater than human flaws.
