Pressuring his fiance, 180 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.519 she puts pressure on Samson, Samson agrees. 181 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:13.959 Tells her. 182 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.600 She goes back, tells the guys, and so Samson gets mad. 183 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.439 Samson gets so mad he goes and kills thirty Philistines, 184 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:26.000 brings the clothes, gives it to these guys, and the 185 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.720 family feels like he any went home. 186 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.319 He like. He leaves the wedding ceremony. 187 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.039 And gives the wife to the best man. 188 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.919 Well he doesn't, but the family does. So he doesn't 189 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.360 give her up. He thinks they're married, because that's what 190 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.919 we're going to read today. But the family gives her 191 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.120 to the best man, who. 192 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.919 Because it says so his wife was given in marriage 193 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.720 to the man who had been Samson's Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 194 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.639 So today in that sparks a whole series of offense 195 00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.759 and revenge, offense and revenge, and so judges Check fifteen says. 196 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.799 Later on, during the wheat harvest, Samson took a young 197 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.639 goat as a present to his wife. Super romantic gesture 198 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.600 by the way, young goat. He said, I'm going into 199 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.320 my wife's room to sleep with her. But her father 200 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.320 wouldn't let him in. I truly thought you must hate her, 201 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.240 her father explained, So I gave her in marriage to 202 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.799 your best man. But look, her younger sister's even more 203 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.320 beautiful than she is. Marry her instead. Samson said, this time, 204 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.759 I cannot be blamed for everything I'm going to do 205 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.759 to you Philistines. Then he went out and caught three 206 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.840 hundred foxes. He tied their tails and pears, and he 207 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.559 fastened a torch to each pair of tails. Then he 208 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.480 lit the torches and let the foxes run through the 209 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.240 grain fields of the Philistines. He burned all their grain 210 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.720 to the ground, including the sheaves and the uncut grain. 211 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.240 He also destroyed their vineyards and olive groves. Who did this, 212 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.360 the Philistines demanded. Samson was replied because his father in 213 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.159 law from Timna gave Samson's wife to be married to 214 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.720 his best man. So the Philistines went and got the 215 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:59.000 woman and her father and burned them to death. Because 216 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.039 you did this, Bowed, I won't rest until I take 217 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.879 my revenge on you. So he attacked the Philistines with 218 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.600 grape fury and killed many of them, and then he 219 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.240 went to live in a cave in the Rock of Eatom. 220 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.000 The Philistines retaliated by setting up camp in Judah and 221 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.759 spread out near the town of Lehigh. The men of 222 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.840 Judah asked the Philistines, why are you attacking us, and 223 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.879 the Philistines replied, we've come to capture Samson. We've come 224 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.840 to pay him back for what he did to us. 225 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.279 So three thousand men of Judah went down to get 226 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.360 Samson at the cave in the Rock of Edom. They 227 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.799 said to Samson, don't you realize if Philistines rule over us, 228 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.840 what are you doing to us? But Samson replied, I 229 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.879 only did to them what they did to me. But 230 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.320 the men of Judah told him, we've come to tie 231 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.679 you up and hand you over to the Philistines. All right, 232 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.480 Samson said, but promise that you won't kill me yourselves. 233 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.759 We will only tie you up and hand you over 234 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.200 to the Philistines. They replied, we won't kill you, So 235 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.000 they tied him up with new ropes and brought him 236 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.799 up from the rock. As Samson arrived at Lehigh, the 237 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.320 Philistines came out shouting in triumph. But the spirit of 238 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.320 the Lord came powerfully upon Samson, and he snapped the 239 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.759 ropes on his arms as if they were burnt strands 240 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.000 of flax, and they fell from his wrists. And then 241 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.960 he found the jawbone of a recently killed donkey. He 242 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.240 picked it up and killed a thousand Philistines with it. 243 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:10.639 And then Samson said, with the jawbone of a donkey, 244 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.799 I have piled them in heaps. With the job bone 245 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.159 of a donkey, I have killed a thousand men. When 246 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.799 he finished his boasting, he threw away the jawbone, and 247 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.600 the police was called Jawbone Hill. Samson's now very thirsty, 248 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.879 and he cried out to the Lord. You've accomplished this 249 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.279 great victory by the strength of your servant. Must have 250 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.000 now die of thirst and fall into the hands of 251 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.039 these pagans. So God caused water to gush out of 252 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.320 a hollow in the ground at Lehigh. Samson was revived 253 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.600 as he drank, and then he named the place the 254 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.960 spring of the one who cried out, and it is 255 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.639 still in Lehigh to this day. Samson judged Israel for 256 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.080 twenty years during the period when the Philistines dominated the land. 257 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.519 I love how he named the place after himself. 258 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:56.840 Yes, it's so Samson, Yeah, that is so Samson. 259 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.240 It is, it is. I was thinking about that. 260 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:06.919 I actually that, so I actually looked up other names 261 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:07.559 of places. 262 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.919 Yeah right, they're all named after the one who provides. 263 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 264 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.799 Jacob named Bethel, which means house of God. That's where 265 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.480 he met God. So it wasn't the house of the 266 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:19.799 place where the man met God. 267 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.759 Right right, right right. 268 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:22.879 Jehovah Jyrah. 269 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.559 Abraham named this place Jehovah Jirah, which means the Lord 270 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.279 will provide. It was named after a ram was substituted. 271 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:33.519 It wasn't named the place where I found a ram, right, 272 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.480 it was the place God provided, right. 273 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.200 The place where the one where the one found the ram. 274 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.639 Hey, do you remember the story when Jacob wrestled with God. Yes, 275 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.120 so he named that place penile right or penial or 276 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.120 whatever it means, the face of God. Not where I 277 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.480 wrestled with God, right right. It's hysterical. 278 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.039 The one who wrestled with God. 279 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.519 But but he calls this spring God get God makes 280 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.159 water out of the ground, and he goes, I'm going 281 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:03.840 to in this place the one who cried out, the 282 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.919 spring of the one who cried out. Yeah, he named 283 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.799 it after himself, one who cried out, Yeah, not the 284 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:10.480 place where God provides water. 285 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.399 It's so unbelievable. 286 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.639 He could have named it God is refreshing. 287 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.000 But no, bro, Yeah, God is refreshing. 288 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.799 Yeah yeah, yeah, but. 289 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.919 The quencher of thirsty Yeah, right, anything right, pick one? 290 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.480 But nope, Sampson did it. He named it for himself. 291 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.279 He's so unbelievably narcissistic. 292 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:31.240 Yeah, the spring of the one who cried out, Oh, 293 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:36.120 Sampson's spring yep. And and yeah, I mean there's only 294 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.720 what four chapters on this guy's life. Yes, I had 295 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:42.399 totally forgotten because the last time that I didn't you know, 296 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.039 I didn't prep I get her a few minutes late. 297 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.799 I didn't even read ahead. I'd totally forgotten that he 298 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.000 went back expecting to still be married. 299 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:52.320 Yeah, and that's. 300 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.039 Why he did it. I remember the fox story and 301 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.679 everything else, the joblone story, which, by the way, holy cow, 302 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.559 right right, jawbone of donkey? Are you kidding me? 303 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:00.399 Crazy? 304 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.200 And I've seen a job bone of a donkey, like 305 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.399 an actual job one. I went to Cuba, Yeah, it's 306 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.679 about yeah, about what foot a little over front. I 307 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.759 went to Cuba and there was a guy who had 308 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:17.159 a job oone of a donkey and the teeth were, 309 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:20.480 you know, still in place, and he grabbed he used 310 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:25.320 it as a musical instrument and he was saing. He 311 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.320 was just like, you know, dragging it along and it 312 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.240 sounded awesome and he's and he's playing this job on 313 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.960 and then this other guy has this makeshift ukulele type 314 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.240 thing or whatever it is and uh and they were 315 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:36.879 sitting on the side of the road and I filmed 316 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.879 them and I was like, this is amazing and I 317 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:41.799 said what is that? And he said it's the job 318 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:43.799 one of a donkey And I was like, are you 319 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.159 kidding me? And of course I immediately thought of this, right, 320 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.519 like you know, when you kill somebody with that, you know, 321 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.879 I mean, how could you do that? You know what? 322 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:52.480 The answer is? 323 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.320 Supernatural strength, yes, from God, the spirit of Guy from God. 324 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:57.919 Yes, yeah, that's the theme. 325 00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.559 The theme is the spirit of Guy comes on him, 326 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.399 but then he takes all the credit and does whatever 327 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:02.240 he wants to with it. 328 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:08.960 Right, So God uses Samson in spite of himself. Yes, 329 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.480 like in other words, you know, you knew that he 330 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:14.360 was born to take on the Philistines. You knew that 331 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.799 he was born to you know, combat them and deliver 332 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.159 the Chune of Israel from their oppression. All that was announced, 333 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:28.840 and you know he he basically is doing that, you know, right, 334 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.759 So he's killing one thousand men, he's making a ruckus, 335 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.080 you know, he's declaring war upon them single handedly. So 336 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.120 he's sort of doing the prediction. But he's doing it 337 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.240 his own way, which leads me to believe that this 338 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.799 wasn't necessarily the way that God wanted him to do it. 339 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:47.279 Right. 340 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.759 Well, up to this point, he's doing it as a citizen. 341 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:55.159 He's not even the he's not even the judge until 342 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.080 verse twenty, right, So he's just doing it because he 343 00:15:59.080 --> 00:15:59.600 wants to do it. 344 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:01.480 Well, he's doing it because he's mad. 345 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:02.679 Yeah, angry. 346 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.200 Well, as a matter of fact, that's that's the verse 347 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.039 that jumps off the page for me is verse eleven. 348 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.960 He said I only did to them what they did 349 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:13.759 to me. Right, So there's this cycle back and forth. 350 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:20.639 It's literally was it, uh, doctor egrich In Emerson Emerson? 351 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.720 It was Emerson Emerson, Yeah, Emerson edgridch He talks about 352 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.720 the crazy cycle, right, Couples get on this crazy cycle 353 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.799 where they get revenge back and forth, back and forth, 354 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.159 you know, you don't. You don't show me respect, so 355 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.279 I'm not going to be romantic and uh, then you know, 356 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.799 you're not treating me with love, and so I'm going 357 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:42.840 to be disrespectful. And they go back and forth, back 358 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.240 and forth. It's not always a conscious decisions. A lot 359 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:46.919 of times it is, but it's not always a lot 360 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:51.000 of times it's reflexive. It's it's just a natural response, 361 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.960 and it's it's basically a cycle of revenge. We're seeing 362 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.480 that in geopolitics right now in the Middle East. We're 363 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:03.279 watching Israel get revenge, and then Iran getting revenge, and 364 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:05.599 then Israel getting revenge, and then I Ran getting revenge. 365 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.160 And they call it it's an honor. 366 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.599 What do they call it? Like honor? 367 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.480 Revenge almost is the idea is, hey, you offended us, 368 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.519 We're going to hurt you back. And and they just wait, okay, 369 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.200 shoot some more rockets in all right, we're gonna go 370 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.279 blow this person up or assassinate this person. And it's 371 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.279 just punishment, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, 372 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:28.240 and there's no end to that, right, So they the 373 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:33.440 Philistines get mad. Uh you know, we well, first of all, 374 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.799 he feels like he's offended because this Philistine father gave 375 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.559 his wife away. Well that there is an offense there, 376 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.400 no lie. So he just goes ahead and burns down 377 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.759 all of the food for next winter for the Philistines, right, 378 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:52.000 destroys it all for everybody. Right, that's a little heavy handed. Well, right, 379 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:52.720 he's going to. 380 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.480 Take out probably more people that way than he did 381 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.000 with the Jaba. 382 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:56.400 Right. 383 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.839 So then they go and burn to death his wife 384 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.440 and her father. So then he goes, oh, well, I'm 385 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:05.920 gonna go fight a. 386 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:06.880 Bunch of people. And what is it? 387 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.319 He kills a bunch of people, right, He goes in 388 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.240 and takes revenge, attax the Philisines with great fury and 389 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:13.960 killed many of them. 390 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:14.839 It doesn't say how many. 391 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.240 And then he's going hiding in a cave, and so 392 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.880 then they come hunting him. They're threatening, they're starting to 393 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.480 spread out through Judah now and they're threatening him, and 394 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:24.359 so the men come and get him, and in that 395 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:28.319 then he winds up killing a thousand people. But his defenses, 396 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:30.640 I'm only doing to them what they did to me. 397 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.720 And I wonder how often we use that same right 398 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:35.799 we feel justified. 399 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:39.799 Yeah, it's a complete justification. I mean, first of all, 400 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.440 that's not what they did to him and he didn't 401 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:46.359
