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.

How did samson lose his strength?

Judges 16:28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.16:29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.Samson may be a strong man, but to topple two pillars, he must have some help from God. And maybe Samson also asked God to grant him very long arms to be able to push against two supporting pillars with enough leverage..AnswerCertainly Samson had some help from God because he asked for it and despite his moral defects Samson was used by God to deliver the Israelites. The theory about the 'miracle' of arm lengthening is indeed intriguing. It would be interesting to see the archaeological, textual, or other evidence on which it is based.Certainly also, whatever the situation with the pillars, sufficient strength was granted to do the job. Perhaps he lent on them alternately and got the building to sway and then topple. Four thousand people on the roof may also have put stresses on the structure already to which the activity of Samson was the last straw. Whatever happened, it was not at all outside the realms of possibility.If the Philistines sent for him to be mocked and whipped, then he would have been tied up to the pillars. I have seen the different ways they made pillars back then and most were segments so really it wasn't one sold structure but many blocks carved (like stacking Lego). Still if God grants you strength he an't gonna do it by half

How did Israel's enemy the Philistines take advantage of the Israel's disunity?

The Philistines took advantage of early Israelite disunity by waging attacks and raids on Israelite villages. This pillaging was quite common until the Israelites formed a united kingdom and actively engaged the Philistines in war. After that point, the Philistines were more of a nuisance than an actual problem. It was the Assyrians who eventually conquered Israel, not the Philistines.

How was delilah looked upon by her people?

DELILAH (De·li′lah) [possibly, Dangling]. A woman living in the torrent valley of Sorek. Delilah is introduced into the Bible account toward the final part of Samson's 20-year judgeship as the object of his love.-Jg 16:31. The axis lords of the Philistines, anxious to destroy Samson, each offered Delilah 1,100 pieces of silver (if shekels, $2,422) to find out for them wherein Samson's great power lay. She cooperated by questioning Samson as to what would render him powerless. Each time Samson answered, she notified the Philistines and hid in her house Philistine warriors who were ready to take advantage of Samson in the event he lost his strength. After three misleading answers by Samson, Delilah continued to pester him and "pressured him with her words all the time and kept urging him, [so that] his soul got to be impatient to the point of dying." Then he told her of his Naziriteship and that no razor had ever touched his head. Certain of having the truth this time, she sent for the Philistine axis lords, and they came to bring her the money. While Samson slept upon her knees, an attendant cut off the seven braids of his hair. Upon awakening, Samson found that this time his divinely provided power was not there. The hiding Philistines grabbed hold of him, blinded him, and took him prisoner. (Jg 16:4-21) Delilah is mentioned no more in the Bible account. The Bible does not say that sexual relationship took place between Delilah and Samson or that she was a prostitute. The prostitute mentioned at Judges 16:1, 2 is not the same as Delilah. This prostitute lived at Gaza, whereas Delilah lived in the torrent valley of Sorek. Also, the following evidence indicates Delilah possibly was an Israelitess, not a Philistine: When the axis lords presented their proposal it was based on an extravagant sum of money and not on patriotic sentiment.-Jg 16:5.
