Judges 16:23-30 Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. And they said: "Our god has delivered into our hands Samson our enemy!" When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said: "Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, The destroyer of our land, And the one who multiplied our dead." So it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may perform for us." So they called for Samson from the prison, and he performed for them. And they stationed him between the pillars. Then Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, "Let me feel the pillars which support the temple, so that I can lean on them."Now the temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there; about three thousand men and women on the roof watching while Samson performed. Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, "O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!" And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars which supported the temple, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and the other on his left. Then Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" And he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life. And his brothers and all his father's household came down and took him, and brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. He had judged Israel twenty years.

In the Bible, more is written about Samson than any other judge (apart from Samuel). And it is that way, even though Samson was the least qualified among them all for the leadership of Israel, looking at it from a moral standpoint. He was also a judge who was unable to give the Israelites lasting peace. Why is it that Samson gets so much attention in the Bible? It is not completely clear why we know more about Samson than we do about Othniel; however, it is good to know that God also uses people who are not perfect, that is, whose lives are not running completely smooth.

This could also apply to you in your life, right? You also are not so perfect, but God can do something great in you and through you. Just stay humble, and do not lose your first love to God. jk
