Description

If Samson was supposed to be a leader (shofeit!) and saviour of Israel, why are all of his battles recorded in Tanach solo vendettas and counterattacks? And why did he spend so much time (socially as well as militarily) in Philistine territory? Geared toward an audience including people without strong background in Torah text study.
