# Samson #

|
|
## Facts: ##
|
|
|
|
Samson was one of the judges, or deliverers, of Israel. He was from the tribe of Dan.
|
|
|
|
* God gave Samson superhuman strength which he used to fight against Israel's enemies, the Philistines.
|
|
* Samson was put under a vow to never cut his hair and to never drink wine or any other fermented drink. As long as he kept this vow, God continued to give him strength.
|
|
* He finally broke his vow and allowed his hair to be cut, which enabled the Philistines to capture him.
|
|
* While Samson was in captivity, God enabled him to regain his strength and gave him the opportunity to destroy the temple of the false god Dagon, along with many Philistines.
