Where is the chink in your armor?
Historians are not quite sure who to credit with the quote, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," or "Time heals all wounds." In either case its not always true but it is in the heart of our hero. Were not sure how long it took but his disposition changed toward this wife and her betrayal. Like most guys who want to make amends they buy flowers or some other kind of gift. In a typical guy kind of fashion he secures a suitable gift and heads off to meet her most likely for a physical union.
Unfortunately, since his anger was so hot the father assumed the marriage was over and Samson would hate her forever. With this in mind he gives Samson's wife to one of the companions who most likely was a Philistine. This of course infuriated our hero. Consequently, Samson rounded up 300 hundred foxes, tied their tails together and set fires ablaze in the Philistines grain stores, fields, and olive orchards as vengeance.
- How do you act when your expectations are not met?
- How do you feel when someone you think you love betrays you?
- Is it always wrong to take vengeance on someone who has wronged you?
