Judges 16-18, Psalm 82

b'Today, we\\u2019ll conclude the account of Samson, one of Israel\\u2019s judges. As you may recall from the last episode, Samson was supposed to be dedicated to the Lord as a Nazirite from birth, and yet he did very little to keep that vow. We pick up his story with the account of his interactions with a Philistine woman named Delilah, a woman of the very nation that Israel had been tasked with destroying for their perpetual evil. As a representative of Israel, it\\u2019s no surprise that in the end, he falls to the strength of another nation because he gives into his passions. In the end, however, the angel\\u2019s prediction is true: he will begin to save Israel from the power of the Philistines.'
