KJV summary for : Judges 16

Summary: Judges Chapter 16 narrates the dramatic story of Samson and Delilah, highlighting themes of betrayal, strength, and the consequences of moral failure. The chapter begins with Samson visiting Gaza, where he is confronted by the city’s leaders. Samson’s downfall is further illustrated through his relationship with Delilah, who is persuaded by the Philistines to discover the secret of his strength. Despite multiple attempts to deceive her, Samson eventually reveals that his strength lies in his uncut hair, a sign of his Nazarite vow. Delilah betrays Samson by alerting the Philistines, who capture him after she cuts his hair while he sleeps. The Philistines gouge out his eyes and imprison him, which emphasizes the dire consequences of his disobedience to God. The chapter concludes with Samson’s eventual revival of strength during a Philistine celebration, culminating in his destruction of the temple, which symbolizes both his personal redemption and God’s sovereignty over Israel. Through this narrative, themes of divine grace and judgment are evident, demonstrating that God's purpose can prevail even amid human failure.
