Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of Judges.
This is episode #08 chapters 15 & 16.
Judges chapter 15, summary was Samson’s revenge. The chapter began as Samson returned to visit his wife, at least what he thought was his wife. However, his would-be-father-in-law would not allow him to see his “wife” because he’d already given her away to Samson’s friend.
He did this because he believed Samson was upset that she gave up his riddle to those men at their wedding feast. So Samson’s would-be-father-in-law offered Samson’s would-be wife’s younger sister (he even had a unique selling proposition; she was prettier than her sister).
Judges chapter 16, summary began with a not so “Godly” story of Samson. He heads up to Gaza and gets a prostitute and lays with her.
While in Gaza, some Philistines spot him and lay wait for him to kill him.
