A rocky hideout where Samson camped after burning Philistine fields
JudeaA cliff or rock formation in Judah where Samson took refuge after tying torches to foxes and burning the Philistines' grain fields (Judges 15:8). The men of Judah came here to hand him over to the Philistines, but Samson broke free from his ropes and struck down a thousand men with a donkey's jawbone. There was also a town called Etam near Bethlehem (2 Chronicles 11:6).

More Than a List of Names
Buried inside a dense chapter of ancient family records are stories that stop you in your tracks — a man named Pain who prayed for blessing and got it, an Egyptian princess who married into Israel, potters who served a king, and a small tribe bold enough to go claim new land.

When God Says Stand Down
Rehoboam gears up for civil war, but God tells him to stand down. What follows is a surprising season of strength — fortified cities, an influx of faithful priests, and a king who actually listens. For a while.
Judges
When Samson Burned It All Down
Samson discovers his wife has been given to another man, and what follows is a chain reaction of revenge that nobody can stop — three hundred foxes with torches, a devastating slaughter, and a standoff with his own people. But the moment that matters isn't the famous jawbone battle. It's the desperate prayer that came after.
