Who was king at the time of Samson?
During the time of Samson, Israel was ruled by a series of judges rather than a king, as the Israelites had not yet established a monarchy. Samson himself was one of these judges, serving as a leader and deliverer for Israel. The period of the judges occurred before the establishment of the Israelite monarchy, which began with Saul. Thus, there was no king ruling over Israel when Samson's story took place.
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.
