Study 5 “Samson’s fatal brinkmanship”

The oscillation of Samson’s life Eshtaol

Gaza

The gates of Gaza

Gates carried to Hebron

Hebron Gaza Zorah

Gaza Hebron 70 kms or 40 miles From here one can see clearly the issues facing us in the world

… …. Samson and Delilah

The valley of Sorek The home of the choicest intoxicants the world can offer

Grapes growing in the valley of Sorek

Delilah

Delilah

The secret of Samson’s strength

Samson’s fatal brinkmanship

Cat and mouse folly repeated

The point of no return

Woven in a web of deceit

Daily torture ends in death

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Capitulation – Covenant forsaken

Yahweh departs from Samson

Gaza revisited tragically

1.Destroyed Philistine crops – Now ends up grinding their grain. 2.Slew 1,000 with the jawbone of an ass – Now doing the work of an ass as a beast of burden. 3.Could not leave Philistine women alone – Now performs women’s work. Poetic outcomes are designed to turn men from folly, not just bring justice!
