[4] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

samson
   of the sun, the son of manoah, born at zorah. the narrative of
   his life is given in judg. 13-16. he was a "nazarite unto god"
   from his birth, the first nazarite mentioned in scripture judg.
   13:3-5; comp. num. 6:1-21. the first recorded event of his life
   was his marriage with a philistine woman of timnath judg.
   14:1-5. such a marriage was not forbidden by the law of moses,
   as the philistines did not form one of the seven doomed
   canaanite nations ex. 34:11-16; deut. 7:1-4. it was, however,
   an ill-assorted and unblessed marriage. his wife was soon taken
   from him and given "to his companion" judg. 14:20. for this
   samson took revenge by burning the "standing corn of the
   philistines" 15:1-8, who, in their turn, in revenge "burnt her
   and her father with fire." her death he terribly avenged
   15:7-19. during the twenty years following this he judged
   israel; but we have no record of his life. probably these twenty
   years may have been simultaneous with the last twenty years of
   eli's life. after this we have an account of his exploits at
   gaza 16:1-3, and of his infatuation for delilah, and her
   treachery 16:4-20, and then of his melancholy death
   16:21-31. he perished in the last terrible destruction he
   brought upon his enemies. "so the dead which he slew at his
   death were more in social and political importance=the elite of
   the people than they which he slew in his life."
   
     "straining all his nerves, he bowed:
   
     as with the force of winds and waters pent,
   
     when mountains tremble, those two massy pillars
   
     with horrible convulsion to and fro
   
     he tugged, he shook, till down they came, and drew
   
     the whole roof after them, with burst of thunder
   
     upon the heads of all who sat beneath,
   
     lords, ladies, captains, counsellors, or priests,
   
     their choice nobility and flower."
   
     milton's samson agonistes.
