Summary

Samason meets Delilah and gives her the keys to his remarkable strength - his hair which is expressive of his Nazirirte status. The Chapter ends with Samson's suicide in which he "kills more in his death than during his life." We spend this podcast trying to offer some frameworks to understand this challenging personality.
