Abstract

According to the biblical witness preserved in narratives spanning Judges 13-16, Samson was an accomplished military hero from the Israelite tribe of Dan. The triumphs of this physically overpowering rogue against neighboring Philistine men, however, were regularly offset by his failures with Philistine women, whose loyalties remained with their own people.
