He could not resist the blandishments of women. In short, he was an overgrown schoolboy without self-mastery.

Worsley speculates that there was another reason suspicion fell on Sampson. Historic witch hunts often persecuted marginal members of society—which Sampson was, by virtue of existing at a time when women were considered to be inferior to men, and thus more susceptible to the lure of the devil.

Academics have interpreted Samson as a demigod (such as Heracles or Enkidu) enfolded into Jewish folklore, [54] or as an archetypical folk hero. [35] He also prayed, and Yahweh answered him, though in judgment ( Judges 16:30). But he was prodigal of his strength. Samson had spiritual power and performed feats which an ordinary man would hardly perform. But he was unconscious of his high vocation. In a moment of weakness he yielded to Delilah and divulged the secret of his strength. He was careless of his personal endowment. He did not realize that physical endowments no less than spiritual are gifts from God, and that to retain them we must be obedient.

[25] [28] [29] Samson is led into the temple, and he asks his captors to let him lean against the supporting pillars to rest. However, while in prison his hair had begun to grow again. [30] He prays for strength and God gives him strength to break the pillars, causing the temple to collapse, killing him and the people inside. [31]
