Day 124 - Read Judges 15-16

Samson took revenge on the Philistines. The people of Judah came to bind Samson to deliver him to the Philistines. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and the ropes that bound him melted away. He struck 1,000 men with the jawbone of a donkey. Samson loved a woman named Delilah so much that he allowed her to seduce him into sharing his source of strength. She conspired with the Philistines and he was successfully bound. His hair grew, and he asked God to strengthen him. He was tied to pillars that held the roof of a house. God strengthened him and he pushed the pillars down, crushing and killing about 3,000 men and women. Samson was also crushed and killed by the falling roof. He had judged Israel for twenty years.
