How does the story of samson symbolize the Israelite nation?
The story of Samson, the strongest man ever on earth, who finally pulled down the temple of the false god Dagon, thereby plunging three thousand or more enemy Philistines into sudden death. This Samson was of the tribe of Dan. For twenty years he judged the nation of Israel. He was the only one of Israel's judges to fall into enemy hands, but in the end he triumphed with his greatest victory.
Was Samson a king?
There is no 'King Samson' in the Bible. Samson, a Danite from Zorah, was a judge in Israel and a Nazirite from birth.(Judges 13:1-5, 24)
What year was Samson of the Bible born?
We can only guess at the time period of Samson's birth. Samson was near the end of the time of the Judges of Israel, only Eli and Samuel followed. Some time during Samuel's rule, Saul was chosen as the first King of Israel and Samuel also anointed David to be the next king when Saul died. So a guess of Samson's birth would be about 1000 B.C.Additional Comment:Exact dating is not possible today but the Book of Judges mentions the Jebusites several times. This would indicate that King David had not conquered their area and established Jerusalem as yet. So Samson, who was the last of the Judges, was just before King Saul - circa 1050 BC - the 1st King of Israel. Samson's campaign lasted 20 years from being a young man, so an estimate of his birth is 1100-1080 BC.More comments:We are told in I Samuel 4:18 that Eli Judged Israel 40 years. Eli was also High priest. Eli, it is estimated, died in 1050 B.C. Then Samuel judged Israel and anointed King Saul about 1043 when he (Samuel) was about 60 years old. David who was to be king after Saul was born about 1035 B.C.

What was God's message to Samson?
Samson was not a prophet and God didn't speak to him. Rather, an angel of God told Samson's parents that he would be the start of Israel's deliverance from the Philistines (Judges ch.13).

What man in the Bible had 40 sons?
13And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel. 14And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
How old is Samson of the Bible when he died?
We do not know because the Bible does not say. It lets us know, however that he judged Israel for 20 years. Which means if he started serving around 20 (the age when men could be counted for war in those times) he may have been around the age of 40 or older. Once again we do not know for sure.
