Recapping briefly, we saw Samson’s character flaws being short tempered and easily agitated. He wanted a Philistine wife because it pleased his flesh. While his father pleaded with him not to do this, we saw that it was from the Lord in order to use Samson and his flaws to rise against the Philistines. He posed a riddle to the Philistine men that only he knew the answer to and after a week of continual pleading from his wife, he told her the answer, which she then told to them. In his anger he went out and killed 30 Philistines, took their garments in payment for the riddle. We then notice he leaves his wife and goes back to his father’s house.
