Samson's Choices and Setbacks
Historical Account★★★★In Judges chapter 14, Samson makes several poor choices that lead to setbacks. He goes to Timnah where he sees a Philistine woman and insists his parents get her for him despite their objections. He visits the vineyards of Timnah against his vow as a Nazirite, fights a lion, finds honey in its carcass but hides this from his parents, participates in a feast that violates his vows, poses a riddle at the feast, and ultimately kills 30 Philistines to win a bet.
Arnall, Jeremy, “01 Determined” (AudioVerse teaching 45373).
