Samson's hometown — where the Spirit first stirred in him
JudeaHistorically Verified
The site has been identified and partially dug up in the Shephelah hills. It matches the biblical location of Samson's hometown.
A town in the Shephelah of Judah near the Sorek Valley. Hometown of Manoah, whose wife received an angelic visitation announcing Samson's birth (Judges 13). The Spirit of the LORD began to stir Samson between Zorah and Eshtaol (Judges 13:25).
Judges
The Strongest Man's Quietest Beginning
Israel is under Philistine oppression — again. But God starts the rescue in the last place anyone would look: a childless couple, an angelic visitor, and a baby who hasn't been born yet. This is Samson's origin story, and his mom might be the real hero of the chapter.
Judges
The Strongest Man's Weakest Moment
Samson — the strongest man alive — meets the one person he can't outmuscle. Delilah plays the long game for Philistine silver, and Samson hands over the secret that's been protecting him his whole life. What follows is a devastating downfall and an ending nobody saw coming.
