Samson was a warrior Judge in the Old Testament (Book of Judges).
God granted Samson immense (Supernatural) strength. Samson was a Nazirite from birth, a status that required him to follow a special vow of dedication to God, which included not cutting his hair and abstaining from alcohol.
As a judge and deliverer, he used his strength to perform miraculous feats against the Philistines, such as tearing a lion apart with his bare hands, killing 1,000 men with the jawbone of a donkey, and carrying the gates of Gaza on his shoulders.
His weakness for Delilah, led to the revelation of his secret, and his hair was cut, which caused him to lose his strength. Captured and blinded by the Philistines, he was later brought to their temple to be humiliated. In a final act, he prayed to God for strength one last time and destroyed the temple, killing himself and the thousands of Philistines inside.
This is about "Samson and the 300 Foxes". Samson's is remembered for his supernatural strength, and it is seen as a demonstration of how God can use even an imperfect person to accomplish His will.
The story of "Samson and the 300 foxes" is from the biblical Book of Judges 15.
- Samson sought revenge after his wife was given to another man by her father.
- He ties 300 foxes together in pairs by their tails and attaches a lit torch to each pair.
- He then releases them into the Philistines' fields of standing grain, setting their crops and vineyards on fire.
- The Philistines retaliated by burning Samson's wife and father-in-law to death.
- Enraged, Samson then slaughtered many Philistines in revenge before taking refuge in a cave.
Note: It is impossible for a man by himself to tie a lit torch to the pair of foxes and make them run through the fields. And it is not one or two foxes but 300 of them. So no matter what Samson did or failed to do, God was always with Him. God worked the impossible through Samson.
300!
