This is the inspirational factual account of Samson, which kills thousands of people with God's help. Of course, never without a reason: because it is bad, corrupt people who have deserved death. Or because he has her clothes want ...
SLAVERY AT TRAFFIC STOPS
if God is always broke and just needs a little coal, he sold his chosen people as slaves to their enemies.
(This, of course, have always deserved, for he is a just God ...)
"14 Sun was kindled the wrath of the LORD over Israel and gave them into the hands of robbers that this deprived them, and they sold about in the hands of their enemies And they could no longer withstand their enemies;. "
(Judges 2:14)
"8 wroth the anger of the LORD over Israel , and he sold them into the hand-Kusan Risathaims king of Mesopotamia. And so were the children of Israel the Kusan Risathaim-eight years"
(Judges 3:8)
"1 But the children of Israel again did evil before the Lord, since Ehud was dead.
2 And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin , king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor, and his captain was Sisera, who lived Harosheth to the Gentiles. "
(Judges 4:1-2)
"7 angry and the anger of the LORD over Israel and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and the Ammonites . "
(Judges 10:7)
The story of the heroic Samson begins Sun The children of Israel are behaving again by and do evil in the Lord. Our Lord is a punishment other people as slaves in their hands.
"1 And the children of Israel did evil again before the Lord, and the LORD delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years "
(Judges 13:1)
This time, however, not a" sale "is mentioned Maybe God just enough.. . give money to the Philistines and therefore the children of Israel, the
should not rejoice too soon, however, because God is already planning the next coup. An angel announces a simple family, the miraculous birth of a savior to
Sounds familiar somehow ...
.
"2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah, and his wife was barren and bare not.
3 And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said unto her, Behold, thou art barren, and not give birth, but you shall conceive and bear a son.
4 heed to yourself now that you do not drink wine nor strong drink, and mayest eat nothing unclean;
5 For thou shalt conceive and bear a son, which no razor shall come upon his head. Because the boy is a devotee God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the Philistines hand. . "
(Judges 13:2-5)
And actually gets really barren woman a son, and finally as the angel prophesied, this boy named Samson later Judge of Israel (- these were the rulers of Israel before there king was -) and leads the Israelites again from slavery
And never goes to the barber
IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE
After his birth, there is a small crack in Samson's biography... The story begins again, as the first Simson Times seen his future bride. A beautiful love story!
"1 Samson went to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 And when he came up, and told his father and his mother and said I've seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines; give me this now as a wife. "
(Judges 14:1-2)
Samson my parents, "you do not prefer to marry your niece wants what?! for here with a Philistine woman who is not even circumcised! ! Bloody foreigners "
" 3 His father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers and all your people that you go and take a wife in the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? "
(Judges 14:3 a)
But Samson is in love and does not listen to these words of reason. He is obviously a hopeless romantic.
" Samson said to his father: "Give me these, because they like my eyes" .
(Judges 14:3 b)
The parents are still skeptical, but they go along with Samson to Timnath, where his beloved lived. But on the way there they meet a lion!
"4 But his father and his mother knew not that it would be the Lord, for he was looking for cause against the Philistines, the Philistines had dominion over Israel at the time
fifth. So Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And when they came to the vineyards of Timnath, behold, there came a young lion roared against him. "
(Judges 14:4-5)
Fortunately, the Spirit of God falls upon him and he tore the lion, just as you normally breaks only goats.
"6 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand."
(Judges 14:6 a)
Now the story but a bit hollow:
"And it did not say in his Father nor his mother what he had done "
(Judges 14:6 b)
The
with the Spirit of God and the killing of the lion with his bare hands. Sure, this can sometimes might happen.
But how can he as kept secret from his parents? They were still there!
have probably just not being scrutinized, as they were attacked by the roaring lion ...
In modern love love stories are often a man in a woman who wants nothing to do with him first. The man then has to be his first great works Show love and win the heart of the lady.
The Bible is not a problem because it is shit here, what the women want.
Therefore, there is now a happy end, "Samson finds that the woman is so good aussieht.Und the wedding done deal. Those were the days!
"7 Now, as he came down and talked with the woman, and she loved Samson in his eyes
8 And after many days he came back that he would take;. "
(Judges 14:7-8a)
THE HONEY FROM THE LION
"and stepped out of the way that he besähe the carcass of the lion. See, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion and honey.
9 And he took it in his hand and ate it on the road and went to his father and his mother and gave them that they also ate. He told them, but not that he had taken the honey from the lion's body. "
(Judges 14:8 a-9)
not know what we should say that. Why not ask your parish priest of trust.
any case is later Simson at his bachelor party guests with a strange mystery. Strippers were invented probably not yet.
"10 And as his father came down to the woman, made Simson there a wedding, as the manner of the young men do.
11 And when they saw him they gave him thirty companions, which should be with him
12 Samson said unto them.. I will give you a riddle if you can guess me and meet the seven days of the wedding, so I will give you thirty shirts and give thirty change of clothes.
13 Can not guess but hers, you shall give me thirty shirts and thirty change of clothes. And they said to him: Give your riddle to, we may hear!
14 He said to them, food came out of the eater and sweetness of the Strong. And they could not in three days of the puzzle. "
(Judges 14:10-14)
Rate Here come the fox not to the riddle, but do love to win the shirts and dresses hard, they ask Samson's wife.
order and to give an incentive for them the solution to betray, they threaten to burn her house along with residents, if not.
"15 On the seventh day they said to Samson's wife. Persuade your husband that he tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father's house with fire Do you have us here charged that its us poor power or not
16 Samson's wife wept before him saying,?. You are to me have gram and do not love me you have children of my people a riddle, and hast not told it. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told my father and my mother and you should say it?
17 And she wept before him the seven days since they had another wedding, but the seventh day he's told her, because she urged him. And she said the riddle of their race children. "
(Judge 14:15-17)
And Samson is such a nice guy, he tells his wife after six days of tears the answer.
Since his riddle solved is to jump Simson thirty dresses and shirts can be.
But the asses that have threatened his wife, he is not his own clothes. That would be even better!
pragmatic as he is, he runs through the land and killed indiscriminately people to steal their clothes.
His old pal, the Spirit of God, helps him.
"18 Then the men of the city to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter the honey What is stronger than the lion, but he said to them: If you do not If you had plowed with my heifer, you would not have taken my riddle.
19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took her dress and gave garments which, guess had the puzzle. "
(Judges 14:18-19a)
FIREFOX
"And kindled in his anger and went up to his father's house.
20 But Samson's wife was one of his journeyman given that belonged to him. "
(Judges 14:19 b-20)
After our hero, the sympathetic serial killer Simson, some time has geschmolt in his parents' house because he feels wronged, he wants to return to his wife.
But his father can not Samson to her.
Then he thought, Samson would not even again, he has continued to married her to a wedding of Samson's companions (- one of those who wanted to burn them, they would not betray them to solve puzzles Simson).
"1 it came to pass after many days, the wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid and when he proposed. I will go to my wife in the board wanted him the father can not enter "
(Judge 15:1)
However, he has since even a newer model in stock: the younger sister of Samson's nameless wife. Which is indeed much nicer anyway. So where is the problem?
"2 and said. I thought you would have turned their grief, and gave her to your friends, but it has a younger sister who is more beautiful than she and the let these be yours. "
(Judges 15:2)
"not So!" Says Samson. He catches three hundred foxes, and binds together two of their tails.
Then he lights it and uses it as an accelerant in order to burn the fields of the Philistines.
"3 Since Samson said unto them, I once a just cause against the Philistines, and I will do damage.
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took fire and returned each one cock to another, and did a fire ever between two tails
5 and lit the fire with fire left them under the grain of the Philistines, and burned so the sheaves together with the standing grain and vineyards and olive trees "
(Judge 15:3-5)
Add to the Philistines, that their fields burned , they investigate. Their research shows that Samson is responsible, as his father-his wife has married again. So they do
the only sensible thing: they burn Samson's wife and father in law.
"6 Then the Philistines said, Who has done this since they said" Samson, the son-of Thimniters, because he deprived him of his wife and his friends? been added. Because the Philistines went up and burned her and her father with fire. "
(Judges 15:6) Samson
beaten the Philistines properly for this action and believes that the matter is now settled for good.
"7 Samson said unto them, If ye do these things, I will take my revenge on you and after that stop
8 and beat them hard on the shoulders and loins. And down went and lived in the stone gap of Etam. "
(Judges 15:7-8)
But the Philistines swear revenge: start Simson a tie, him and create him away.
"9 Because the Philistines went up and pitched in Judah, and sat down to Lehi. [...]
And they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock. "
(Judges 15:9,13 b)
But the Philistines have not reckoned with the Spirit of God. Summing again over Samson, and gives him a bear. He breaks his chains and kills with a jawbone of an ass a thousand men.
"14 And he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him. But the spirit of God came upon him, and the ropes on his arms are like threads, which has scorched the fire, . that the bonds melted on his hands
15 And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, so he put out his hand and took him and struck a thousand men
16 And Samson said, "There they lie in heaps, with a donkey jawbone I have a thousand Man beaten. "
(Judges 15:14-16)
Conclusion:
A quarrel in the family Simson led initially to commit arson, and ultimately to ... 20
And he judged Israel at the time of the Philistines twenty years "to murder thousands of people
This shows clearly that he is likely to be ruler of Israel
(Judges 15: 20)
THE DOORS
Now the story makes a great once again Jump and we learn from the last days in the life of the great Samson.
"1 Samson went to Gaza and saw there a harlot, and came to her."
(Judges 16:1)
The story of the hooker has to do with the actual story, the fight against the Philistines, Samson, to nothing. God probably wanted just once mention Sun
The residents of Gaza can suffer Simson for unspecified reasons and do not plan to kill him. Therefore they lie in wait on him at the gate.
"2 As was the Gazit said Samson is entered. And they surrounded him and let him lie in wait all night in the city gate and spent the whole night and talked quietly. Harre, tomorrow when it gets light, we want to strangle him "
(Judges 16:2)
Unfortunately, Gazit not nearly as good killers like Samson. So they wait til the night at the city gate, it seems not but notice as he passed them by walking, and here we tear open the city gates.
"3 Samson lay until midnight. Then he got up at midnight and took both doors at the city gate, together with the posts and picked them out with the bars and put them on his shoulders and carried her up to the top of the hill before Hebron. "
(Judges 16:3)
Simson goes unchallenged on his way and takes the city gates on a mountain.
Why? Mmm ... Why not?
Perhaps it was particularly beautiful doors. Maybe Samson had simply taken too many drugs before he went to prostitutes.
The exact reason will probably always remain in the darkness of history.
MIRACLE HAIR
After learning of this strange episode Simson know a woman.
But unfortunately works as a spy for the Philistines, are looking for the secret of Samson's great strength.
"4 Then he won a wife loves the stream Sorek, whose name was Delilah
5 to that of the Philistines came up prince and said to her. Persuade him and see, which he has such great strength and what we like about him, that we may bind him and force, and we will give every one tausendundhundert pieces of silver. "
(Judges 16:4-5)
Delilah wants to let the chance for several Tausendundhundert silver pieces, trying to escape in a subtle manner, where Samson's strength comes.
"6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me where your great strength is and what one might tie you up in that force you
7 Samson said to her? : If they bind me with seven fresh cords of bast, which are not yet dried up, so I would faint and would like a different person
8 As princes of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords of bast. that had not yet dried up, and they bound him with them
9 (Man lurked. him but with her in the chamber) and they said to him. The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! But he tore the ropes on how flächsene string breaks, when she smells the fire;.. And it was not known where his power would be "
(Judges 16:6-9)
rules of the game thrice Simson can be tied up, first with Bastseilen and then with unused cables. Last time, can Delilah even braids to tie from his hair to a nail.
why he does remains a mystery. Do is probably just archaic sadomasochistic activities.
After is tied up, Delilah claimed time, the Philistines had come to catch him.
Samson falls each A look on it and breaks his chains. The strategy of asking
, Samson just after the source of his strength and knowledge to be tested empirically, unfortunately did not work.
you tried a new tactic: force him so much and torment, until he almost died ...
"15 she said to him: How can you say you loved me, but your heart is not with me three times you have mocked me and not tell me where your great strength? was.
16 As they pushed him, but with their words every day and it zerplagte, was his soul to finish up death, "
(Judges 16:15-16)
That a woman he does not know as much as trying by all means figure out his weak point, Samson will probably not suspect.
He relents and . reveals the lies his strength in his hair
"17 and he told her all his heart and said to her: It's never a razor come upon my head, because I am a devotee of God mother's womb. If I am Schoer, then stepped my power from me, that I be weak, and like all other people.
18 Since Delilah saw that he had revealed to her all his heart, she sent and called for the Philistines said princes and call, "Come up again, for he has revealed to me all his heart. Because of the Philistines came up to her prince and brought the money in her hand. "
(Judges 16:17-18)
The fact that Delilah Samson immediately after it has betrayed his secret, the princes of the Philistines receives - his mortal enemy - and handed her a large amount of money that makes Simson still not suspicious
And so it comes as it must
"19 And she left him.. asleep on her lap and cried a man who he abschöre the seven locks of his head. And she began to force him, where was his strength left him.
20 And they said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! As he awoke from his sleep, he thought, "I will go out as I have often done, I will tear myself away, and did not know that the Lord had left him"
(Judges 16:19-20. ) take
The Philistines now the juice and powerless Simson. The time now is defenseless, because the Lord has now left him.
unattractive to lure people without God helps, of course. That would be ridiculous!
ENDS WELL, ALL GOOD
"21 But the Philistines seized him and put out his eyes and led him down to Gaza and bound him with two bronze chains, and he had to grind in the prison.
22 But the hair of his head began to grow again, where it was shaved.
23 But as the Philistine princes gathered, Dagon their god to do a great sacrifice and rejoice, . They said: Our God has given Samson our enemy into our hands
24 Similarly, when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our God gave us our enemy in our hands given that our country and our corrupt killed many. "
(Judges 16:21-24)
The Philistines rejoice that they have Samson, who killed many of them, now finally caught. you make a big party and sacrifice to their god Dagon.
To entertain the people before they leave Samson perform.
"25 Since her heart was in good spirits, they said, Let pick Samson, that he was playing in front of us. Since they brought Samson out of jail, and he played against them, and they placed him between the pillars.
26 Samson said to the boy, who guided him by the hand, Let me, I taste the pillars on which the house is that I turn lean.
27 Da house was full of men and women. There were princes of the Philistines, and everyone on the roof about three thousand, man and woman, who looked on while Samson made sport. "
(Judges 16:25-27)
Simson would not be such an honorable hero of the Bible if he could put up with this.
He plans to destroy the pillars of the house and in a suicide attack three thousand people who are on the roof (it must be a pretty big roof) to eliminate.
But for that we need God's help. Since this is a good cause, God says, not "No". In this way can this tragedy - the death of this wonderful and good man - at least connect with a good cause - the death of some thousands of those damn Philistines.
Thank God!
"28 Samson called upon the LORD, saying, Lord, Lord, remember me and strengthen me but, God, this time that I avenge me for my two eyes again to the Philistines!
29 And he took the two middle pillars set on which the house was and the fact it gave a right to his and the other left in his hand,
30 and said: Let me die with the Philistines! and bent sharply. As the house fell upon the lords and all the people that was the fact that the dead were more who died in his death, for those who died during his life. "
(Judges 16:28-30)
What will God say to us about this story, dear children?
suicide attacks with 3,000 deaths are a good thing, as long as one is acting on behalf of the true God!
And revenge is sweet as honey from a dead lion ...
