Samson’s Downfall

In this Bible Story, Samson shows weakness for Delilah, leading him to reveal the secret to taking away his strength. Samson is then bound and captured by the Philistines. Samson, with one final push with the strength of God, topples the Philistine temple and kills 3,000. This story is inspired by Judges 16. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.

Today's Bible verse is Judges 16:6 from the King James Version.

Episode 69: Despite his massive ego and foolishness, God had been using Samson as His chosen instrument against the Philistines. But Samson’s lust would be his downfall. The Philistines noticed that his only weakness was his lustfulness, so they hired a beautiful woman named Delilah to seduce him into revealing the secret of his strength. After being lied to by Samson on three occasions, he finally caved in and gave her the truth. Teaching us that we should be careful not to flirt with sin or abuse the favor God has given us, otherwise, like Samson, we may make a choice we deeply regret.
