Judges 16:6-31
VICTORY AT A PRICE
There are times when people win great battles, but
they pay a great price in order to win.
Samson ultimately won a great battle over the Philistines, but because of
his sin, he paid a great price (He lost his life during the final victory.).
SAMSON WAS PLAYFUL WITH DELILAH Vss. 1-14
Samson shouldn't have been with this woman in the
first place.
They weren't married.
When Delilah started to probe about the secret of his strength, it seems to me that Samson was playful, telling her great
tales. Samson should have realized that
this was more than a game and left Delilah alone.
DELILAH WAS PERSISTENT WITH SAMSON Vss. 15-18
She kept pestering Samson until he finally stopped
playing with her and told her the truth.
THE PHILISTINES WERE PREDOMINANT OVER SAMSON Vss.
19-25
Samson's strength was gone. He was blinded. False gods were praised. He was made to
entertain his enemies. But, his hair grew back.
SAMSON PRAYED TO GOD Vss. 26-30
Samson asked God for one last victory.
GOD PREVAILED Vss. 30-31
