JudgesSteve Gregg
In "Judges 15 - 16", Steve Gregg continues his exploration of the story of Samson. Samson's actions are examined, including his capture and use of 300 foxes to damage Philistine crops. The revenge he seeks against his father-in-law after being deceived is also discussed. The story ultimately leads to Samson's downfall, as his secret strength - tied to his long hair and Nazrite vow - is revealed by Delilah, leading to his capture and death.
