a whole approach to the lesson in many respects the story of samson is one of the saddest in the bible he began so well he gained many mighty victories but he fail ed so terribly because he had not learned as paul did to keep under his body and bring it into subjection 1 cor 927 therefore he became a castaway for a time though re stored at the very last his biogra phy is pregnant with instruction for all who profess to know god and seek to serve aim in any capacity it is a solemn warning against playing with sin in any form the parents of samson were godly people and their deep concern for the welfare of their son is evident in the earnest question how shall we order the child from the time of his physical maturity samson proved himself in capable of controlling his body and holding his physical appetites in check he was a brawny man of tremendous strength but overly self- indulgent a nazarite in outward idlib have a demilo permanent wave before going on your summer

strong in spirit as he was in body he could have accomplished great things for the glory of jehovah and the blessing of his people as it was his efforts were sporadic and not of lasting benefit yet he was after all a man of faith heb 1132 but in him the struggle between flesh and spirit gal 517 was painfully manifest the historical setting samsons life story covers about forty years from 1161 to 1120 bc for twenty years he judged israel and through him many striking de liverances were wrought but there was no permanent victory his death left the twelve tribes in anarchy and confusion from which they were eventually freed by samuel saul and david verse by verse judges 145 the vineyards of timnath do not overlook chapter 13 and the previous verses of chapter 14 samson iwent to tim nath to woo a philistine young woman much to the disgust and chagrin of his parents however god overduled even this in order to bring samson to the front as the champion of israels liberties a lion roaring against him did not affright him but furnished occasion to display his prowess verse c he had nothing in his hand this incident shows what samson might have been had his reliance alaws been upon the spirit of the lord chap 1511 as they did unto me so have i done unto them the intervening verses tell of samsons unfortunate marriage his riddle and some minor victories which served to arouse the philistine host against him and filled israel with fear verse 12 we are come down to bind thee the men of judah de manded that he permit them to sur render him to the philistines he coming to the

agreed to his demand and so he permitted them to bind him fast with two new cords and thus they led him to the philistine army a hero rejected by his own people who failed to real ize that he was sent of god to be their deliverer verse 14 the spirit of the lord came mightily upon him when the philistine horde shouted with glee as the captive was about to be hand ed over o them the spirit of god fell in power on the nazaritejudge the cords were snapped asunder and snatching up a jawbone of an ass lying upon the ground v15 sam son smote the enemy so that he put them all to rout after slaying a thousand men chap 1615 thou hast mock ed me these three times we gather from chapter 1520 to 163 that for some twenty years samson lived on a higher plane and was used of god to liless his people as their judge and leader then came the sad failure in connection with delilah of whom he became enamored verse 16 she pressed himr daily with constant urging she begged him to prove his love for her by betraying the secret of the lord until his determination was under mined verse 17 he told her all his heart at last he revealed the story of his nazariteship and this in a harlots house verse is the philistines brought money delilah with all her blandishments and outward charm was hut a blackhearted adventuress ready to sell her paramour for money vers 19 she made him sleep upon her knees what a comedown for gods nazarite servant verse 20 as at other times be fore the backslider seldom knows his real condition aroused by delilahs cry samson went out to shake himself that is to exer cise his strength as before but his power was gone though he knew it not verse 21 put out his eyes the onetime mighty deliverer had no strength left to cope with the wary philistines ibut was overpowered blinded fettered and cast into pris on from verse 22 to 31 we get the end of the story the heart of the lesson trifling with sin is a terrible mis take and will bring dire consequen ces as last had samson walked be fore god in selfjudgment keeping under his body and bringing it into subjection 1 cor 927 he would undoubtedly have been the greatest of all the judges of israel as it was because of selfindulgence he be came a castaway that is he was set aside as a servnt disapproved of god and obliged to learn in bitter ness of soul in the house of bond age the folly of his course he stands out upon the page of holy scripture as a beacon light to all who would serve the lord and his people call ing them to abstain from fleshy lusts which war against the soul 1 pet 211 a holy minister is a
