fcreamedfsl I Comments I on s.s. argl | Lesson Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, who are the strong? (Temperance Lesson), Judges 15:11-15; 16:15-21 .for Sunday, June 22. Israel had again drifted from God and were taken into captivity by the Philistines. Samson, one of the last of the judges, judged Israel for twenty years. His judging was not so much in deciding questions and disputes as in being the strongest man physically, of them all, and, as Stfeh, waged practically a one-marl battle against the Philistines. 'Die lesson aims to show the tragedy of wasting Godgiven strength through a lack of self- discipline. Vs. 11, 12. ‘‘Then three thousand men of Judah went to the-top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? What is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me. so have I done unto them. . . And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Sanison said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.” Samson had slaughtered the Philistines after they had burned to death his wife and her father. His action was inspired by revenge. The men of Judah feared that the Philistines would retaliate, and so wanted to deliver Samson to them to avert their wrath. Samson did not want to have to defend himself against

his own people, but had no fear of the Philistines, even when bound. Vs. 13, 14, 15. “And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound iym with two new cords, and Brought him up from the rock. . . And when he came unto Behi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightly upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. . . And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.” In spite of being bound in such away that no ordinary man could free himself, with his God-given strength, he could miraculously set ■ himself free, and, with merely ' a jawbone, was able to slay a thousand of his oppressors. Vs 15, 16. 17. “And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth. . . And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death: . . . That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There shall not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: it I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak,, and be ’like an other man.” Samson had a fondness for women, particularly Philistine women, one of whom brought about his downfall. In his infatuation for Delilah, he forgot his duty to his tribe, forgot his’ vows as a Nazarite, and gave way to his own lust, blind to the fact that she was merely trying to find out the source of his strength and betray him to the Philistines. Vs. 18, 19. “And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, I Cofne up this once, for he hath showed me all his heart. Then the ! lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. . . And she made him sleep upon hfr knees; and she called for a man and .she caused h.m to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.” The large bribe offered Delilah was 110 shekels from each lord. ,Although Samson thought his strength was in his hair, actually his hair was merely a God-given endowment, the symbol of his consecreation as a Nazarite. God had given him this strength that he might deliver Israel, but, like Esau, he sold his birth right for a passing pleasure. Vs. 20, 21. “And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed him. . . But the Philistines took him and put out his eyes and rough! him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house." The tragedy of Samson’s loss was heightened by the fact he was unaware of his weakness and continued his bragging of a prowess he no longer possessed. Samson illustrates how indulgence lack of self-restraint lust, a revengeful spirit, misuse of Godgiven capacities, can grow in a man until he is blind to all life’s values and finally becomes enslaved to his passions.
