He is one of the judges of Israel, whose account is primarily found in the Book of Judges. His name is associated with strength and deliverance, as he was chosen by God to begin the deliverance of Israel from the Philistines.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Samson lived during a tumultuous period in Israel's history, characterized by cycles of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. As a Nazirite from birth, Samson was set apart for God's service, which included abstaining from wine, avoiding contact with the dead, and not cutting his hair. His life reflects the tension between divine calling and human weakness, as he often struggled with personal desires and disobedience.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/8123.htm">Shimshon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Samson, a judge in Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Samson (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4546: Σαμψών</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Σαμψών</span></span> (<span class="hebrew">שִׁמְשׁון</span> from <span class="hebrew">שֶׁמֶשׁ</span>, 'sun-like', cf.
