In this week's episode, we learn about one of the most famous characters in the Bible. Who am I talking about? Find out now!
Hello everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew!
Before we start, let me ask you a question: Have you heard the story of Samson?
If you know your Bible well (or even if you've just been to Sunday school a few times as a child, OR watched the famous Hollywood movie, Samson and Delilah), then you know the name.
But let me make a quick introduction!
In the Old Testament, Samson was a Nazirite judge with superhuman strength. He’s one of the most famous Bible characters, and much has been said about him in it.
But this isn't how the story we're talking about today starts.
Instead, it begins with Samson as a young man who is smitten by a Philistine woman. His parents object to the union, but they still go along with his marriage plans.
What happens after that?
Let's find out together!
