19 - Judges 14-16
The story of Samson is almost too crazy! Lions, bees,
riddles, jawbones, foxes, and more. He doesn’t seem to be the kind of person
God would choose – he’s brash, disrespectful, overbearing, and egotistical. And
God used those characteristics to confront the Philistines in a way that was
unexpected and yet successful.
You have to wonder how wise he was, though, with all the
tricks Bathsheba pulled. Verse 16:16 says she nagged him “until he was tired to
death.” It’s hard to understand why he didn’t just leave.
Did you see the last verse that said his brothers came to
get his body? I’m hoping that means his mother was able to conceive and give
birth to other children.
