Samson was one of the last of the judges of the ancient Israelites.
He was given supernatural strength by God in order to combat his enemies and perform heroic feats such as killing a lion, slaying an entire army with just the jawbone of an ass and destroying a pagan temple.
Samson had two vulnerabilities however, his attraction to the wrong women and his hair which he was powerless without. These vulnerabilities eventually led to his death.
Samson is believed by some to be buried in Tel Tzora Israel where there are two large gravestones, one for him and one for his father Manoah.
Samson was:
Dedicated to God from birth as a Nazirite
Known for his feats of strength
Listed in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11
Began to free Israel from Philistine oppression
Violated his vow and God's laws on many occasions
Was controlled by sensuality
Used his gifts and abilities unwisely
Father; Manoah
His story is told in Judges 13-16. And he is also mentioned in Hebrews 11:32
