To better understand what Samson was up against, I went to my Hebrew dictionary to find out what Delilah’s name meant. In Biblical times, a great deal of effort was given to choosing a name for a child. Often names were given which described the child’s calling from God. Other times names seemed to carry an almost prophetic description of a child’s future. What I found out about Delilah supports the fact that the meaning of her name fittingly described her effect on those she met.

Historic witch hunts often persecuted marginal members of society—which Sampson was, by virtue of existing at a time when women were considered to be inferior to men, and thus more susceptible to the lure of the devil. But Sampson was also a respected figure within her community, whose expertise was sought by everyone from the local poor to members of the minor gentry. a b c d e f Rogerson, John W. (1999).

Dean is a hamlet of a hand full of dwellings lying to the north of Cranmore, on the road from Shepton Mallet to Frome (A361).Watch out for arrogance. Samson first got in trouble when he suggested a riddle that no one but him could solve, with a solution that highlighted his unbeatable strength. He continued to behave arrogantly and take foolish risks throughout his life, and it ultimately got him into trouble. Regardless of how skilled or blessed we are, we need to remember to be humble.

In 1735, George Frideric Handel wrote the oratorio Samson, [72] with a libretto by Newburgh Hamilton, based on Samson Agonistes. [72] The oratorio is almost entirely set inside Samson's prison [72] and Delilah only briefly appears in Part II. [72] In 1877, Camille Saint-Saëns composed the opera Samson and Delilah with a libretto by Ferdinand Lemaire in which the entire story of Samson and Delilah is retold. [72] In the libretto, Delilah is portrayed as a seductive femme fatale, [72] but the music played during her parts invokes sympathy for her. [72]Under the influence of the radical Reformation leader John Knox, the Church of Scotland implemented a strict moral code, with the goal of establishing a “godly state.” Local church courts, known as “kirk sessions,” sought to curtail perceived vices like dancing, drunkenness, celebrations at weddings, card-playing, and luxurious dress. Amid this austere climate, “militant Protestants … defined witches as one of their principal enemies,” Lawrence Normand and Gareth Roberts write in Witchcraft in Early Modern Scotland .

Later, Samson travels to Gaza, where he sees a prostitute ( Hebrew: אִשָּׁ֣ה זוֹנָ֔ה) and visits her. [20] [23] His enemies wait at the gate of the city to ambush him, but he tears the gate from its very hinges and frame and carries it to "the hill that is in front of Hebron".
