Samson just pulled down the pillars of the temple killing thousands of his enemies. Both of his wives had deceived him…the first by giving the Philistines the answer to his riddle; the second by cutting his hair which allowed him to be captured by the Philistines.

Samson’s riddle from Judges 14:

“Out of the eater came forth meat,
and out of the strong came forth sweetness.”
“What is sweeter than honey?
And what is stronger than a lion?”
