Samson, the last judge of the ancient Israelites, was renowned for his incredible strength, which was believed to be a gift from God. As a Nazirite, he accomplished extraordinary acts like killing a lion and defeating a Philistine army using only a jawbone. Unfortunately, he was deceived by Delilah, leading to his capture and subsequent blindness at the hands of the Philistines. In a final display of his strength, Samson toppled a temple, sacrificing himself and taking down his enemies. His story has inspired religious discourse and artistic interpretations, with some drawing parallels between Samson and Jesus.
