Israel: Under the Judges: Led by Samson for Twenty Years

And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.

Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, so He delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.

One day Samson went down to Timnah, where he saw a young Philistine woman.

Later on, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.

One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
