1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Let us pray, and he found a new jawbone of

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: an ass and put forth his hand and took it

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: and slew a thousand men therewith Judges fifteen fifteen. Dear

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, when others wrong me and I feel betrayed,

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: I will not take matters into my own hands and

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: act in revenge. Your word reminds me that vengeance and

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: vindication come from the Lord. Therefore, I will not act

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: rashly and carelessly like Samson, but will instead wait for

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: You to bring me deliverance and healing for my pain.

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: Keeping a pure heart and living with forgiveness gives me

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: access to your presence and grace. Whatever the enemy or

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: others have stolen from me, I will receive full payment.

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: In Jesus Name, I decree and declare that there will

14
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: be no lack in the area that was attacked by

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: wicked schemes. To day is my day of retribution and vindication.

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Today is the day that unforgiveness will not have a

17
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: hold on me or my future. I speak a new

18
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: chapter in my life. From this day forward, I am

19
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: free from past hearts and betrayal. In Jesus Name, Amen,

20
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: thanks for making prayer a priority in your life to

21
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: hear the Bible come to life. Stay tuned for the

22
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: Bible in a Year brought to you by Bible in

Speaker 1: a Year dot.

24
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: Com, three hundred Foxes and a jaw bone. In our

25
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: last story, we learned about Samson's battle with a lion,

26
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: breaking of his vow, and a marriage to a Philistine woman.

27
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: His foolishness cost him greatly and his wife married another man.

28
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: In this story, we will learn about Samson's attempt to

29
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: win his wife back and his revenge against the Philistines

30
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: for her refusing him. Samson's strength and craftiness would be

31
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: used by God to create havoc and chaos among the Philistines,

32
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: inspired by the Book of Judges.

33
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: Hello, this is Jack Graham with today's episode of the

34
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: Bible in a Year podcast. In our last episode, we

35
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: heard the story of how Samson met and fell in

36
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: love with a Philistine woman. It was a relationship that

37
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: God never wanted for Samson, but one he would use

38
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: nonetheless to accomplish his eternal plans. We saw how Samson's

39
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: foolishness and the compromising of his values led to personal

40
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: tragedy and lost his wife to another Today we'll hear

41
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: how Samson fights to win back his wife and how

42
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: he reacts to being turned away. We'll also see how

43
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: God uses Samson's flaws and failures and all to defeat

44
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 3: the Philistines and so chaos into their camp. We'll continue

45
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: to see that Samson is not only physically strong, but

46
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: clever and crafty, and how his extraordinary gifts are a

47
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: tool in the powerful hands of God. But we'll also

48
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: see the disastrous consequences of human vengeance and how one

49
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: small act can have a domino effect of death and destruction.

50
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: So let's listen now to today's reading.

51
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: Samson stewed in regret. He missed his wife, more so

52
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: he wanted to sleep with her again. So after some

53
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: time during the wheat harvest, Samson traveled back to the

54
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: Philistine city with a goat, Attempting to buy back his

55
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: wife's favor. He went to her father and said, allow

56
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: me to sleep with my wife again in her chamber.

57
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: Samson's request bothered her father, but he knew Samson was

58
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: a rich and strong man. He said to Samson, I

59
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: thought you hated my daughter for betraying you, so I

60
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: gave her as a wife to your best man. But

61
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: here you may marry my youngest daughter instead, Samson simmered

62
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 2: in anger. He stormed off, amazed that his wife would

63
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 2: be given away to another man. So quickly his mind

64
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: thrashed like waves in a storm. His eyes glossed over

65
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: in total rage, and he immediately went into the wilderness.

66
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: This time I will be justified in my revenge against

67
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: the Philistines, Samson said to himself. Samson caught three hundred

68
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: foxes in the nearby forest, a task that took a

69
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: great deal of time and effort, but Samson did not mind.

70
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: Revenge and spite fueled his actions. Up the foxes and

71
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: tied their tails together with a torch between each of them.

72
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: He sent them into the wheat fields of the Philistines.

73
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Samson stood at a distance, watching the food source of

74
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: the Philistines bird There was nothing they could do to

75
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: stop the fire from reaching. The Philistines discovered Samson was

76
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: responsible for the fire and killed his wife in retaliation. Samson,

77
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: now truly alone, went up against them. Dozens of Philistines

78
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: charged Samson. He growled at them like a lion and

79
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: did not run. He stood his ground like a one

80
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: man army. It was a cool and unsparing slaughter. Samson

81
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: tore the Philistines to shreds, as he once did the

82
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: lion in the vineyard. He stood over their bodies, fists

83
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: dripping with blood. His long hair and beard was caked

84
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: with dust and flesh. He breathed a deep sigh and

85
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: screamed into the air. He was now a fugitive. So

86
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: Samson escaped to a cave in the cleft of Edam

87
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: and hid there. The Philistines were outraged and came up

88
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: and camped in Judah. They raided and pillaged the land,

89
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: slaughtering innocent people. Out of revenge, they scoured the entire

90
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: city of Judah in search of Samson. Three thousand men

91
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: of Judah arose to go find Samson hiding in the

92
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: cave of Edam. When they found him, they said to him,

93
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: don't you know that the Philistines rule over us? Why

94
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: have you done this to us? Your foolish exploits have

95
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: cost our lives. Samson felt no regret. His pettiness and

96
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: rage was still looming over him like a dark cloud.

97
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 2: They got what they deserved. Samson hissed, I have only

98
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: done to them what they did to me. The leaders

99
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: of Judah pressed their hands against their temples. Samson was

100
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: a difficult man to speak with. He was filled with pride. Samson,

101
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: we have come here to bind you up and bring

102
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: you back to the Philistines. Samson closed his eyes. Three

103
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: thousand of his kins stood before him, ready to take

104
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: him by force. No, they would not take him by force. Instead,

105
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: Samson had a plan. Promise me, you will not attack

106
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: me yourselves. Samson said, of course not. We will bind

107
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: you and give you to the Philistines. They replied, excellent.

108
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: Samson nodded, so he gave himself over to be bound.

109
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: They tied him up tightly with two brand new roofs,

110
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: for they knew Samson was a strong man and capable

111
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: of breaking through weak knots and old rope. Samson walked

112
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: down the mountain with them. In the distance, he could

113
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: hear the massive Philistine armies shouting they were coming up

114
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: to meet him. When they had finally met, Samson looked

115
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: to the sky, like lightning falling from the clouds, a

116
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: rush of God's spirit came upon Samson. He tore the

117
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: ropes off his arms as if they were melted wax.

118
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: He stompd towards the Philistine horde. Besides, Samson was a

119
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: dead donkey, and he ripped out the donkey's jawbone from

120
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: its skull. The Philistines charged, and Samson jumped into the crowd.

121
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: With loud screams, he flung their bodies like rag dogs.

122
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: One by one, they fell as Samson drove the jawbone

123
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: into their skulls. Out cracking bones and piercing screams echoed

124
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: through the canyon. Samson slew one thousand Philistines that day.

125
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: In that moment, he was the acting fist of God,

126
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: liberating the oppressed people of Israel. With each blow, the

127
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: men's broken and contorted bodies laced the mountain ground. Samson

128
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: stood among the bodies, heaving and smiling. He shouted up

129
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 2: to the skies and said, with the jawbone of a donkey,

130
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 2: I create heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey,

131
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: I strike down a thousand men. Samson's body quivered out

132
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: of exhaustion and dehydration. He threw away the jawbone into

133
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: the bushes. He called upon the Lord and said, you

134
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: have given me salvation. Now is it my fate to

135
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: die in the wilderness from thirst? So God caused water

136
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: to spill forth from the crags of the mountain side.

137
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: Samson drank beside the bodies of fallen Philistines. He revived

138
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: his strength and washed away the blood of his enemies.

139
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: There was no doubt afterwards that Samson was a chosen

140
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: hero of God. So he judged and protected Israel for

141
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: twenty years, and he warred against the Philistines in the

142
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: name of the Lord.

143
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: Today's story begins with Samson determined to win back his wife.

144
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: He wanted to see her again, so he goes to

145
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: his father in law, intending to sleep with his wife,

146
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: but his wife's father tells Samson he's already given her

147
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: to another man, thinking Samson had rejected her after what

148
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: happened at the feasts, he offers Samson her younger sister instead,

149
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: but that is not acceptable to Samson. Samson's anger boils

150
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: and he vows revenge, stating that this time he will

151
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 3: be innocent of the harm he'll do to the Philistines.

152
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: So what does he do. He goes out and catches

153
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: three hundred foxes, sets torches between them, and releases them

154
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: into the Philistine's crops. The Philistines watch powerlessly as their

155
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: three main food sources are destroyed. Samson's anger is far

156
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: from righteous, yet God is working through Samson to wreck

157
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: havoc on those who have oppressed his children for so long.

158
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: When the Philistines discover it was Samson, they burn his

159
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: father in law's house down, killing all inside, including Samson's wife.

160
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: It's Samson's turned down to seek revenge. Filled with rage,

161
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 3: he vows to exact vengeance and then quit. He foolishly

162
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: thought that he could have the last word and the

163
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 3: Philistines would not seek to get even. Isn't that how

164
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: things go when we become so intoxicated and motivated by

165
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: anger and the desire to get even. In the end,

166
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: we're left with a trail of destruction and nobody wins.

167
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: Samson attacks the Philistines, tearing men limb from limb, just

168
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: like he had done to the Lion. But this wasn't

169
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 3: a matter of self defense. It was unbridled anger and rage.

170
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: It was sinful anger. Samson fled to a mountain near Judah,

171
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: so the Philistines pursued him, sowing more death and destruction.

172
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: The people of Judah came forward to help deliver Samson

173
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: to the Philistines. They gathered an army, but it's not

174
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: to fight the Philistines. Rather, it is to turn Samson

175
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: over to them. Judges fifteen to eleven puts it this way.

176
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: The three thousand men of Judah went down to the

177
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: cleft of the rock at Etom and said to Samson,

178
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us?

179
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 3: What then, is this that you have done to us?

180
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: God had appointed Samson as a deliverer of his people,

181
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: but they saw him as trouble rather than a blessing.

182
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: Israel would rather remain in subjugation than make waves. How

183
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: often do we give into the things that hold us captive,

184
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: rather than asking God's help and the power that he

185
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: will give us to overcome. Samson, finally sensing his calling,

186
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: tells the men of Judah they can bind him up

187
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: and hand him over. They tied him up with new,

188
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 3: strong ropes that even Samson shouldn't be able to break,

189
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: and delivered him to the Philistines. So God sent his

190
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 3: spirit upon Samson and filled him with an even greater power.

191
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: The ropes were no match for God's strength. This strength

192
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 3: was flowing through Samson now, and he threw these ropes

193
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: off like they were nothing. He then picked up the

194
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: jawbone of a donkey and killed one thousand Philistines. Now

195
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: Samson wasn't acting in his own interests for revenge. He

196
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: now is a tool in the hand of God to

197
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: defeat an enemy and strike fear into their hearts. This time,

198
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 3: his heart is in the right place. He is obeying God.

199
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: Samson then led Israel for twenty years, but one day

200
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: his desires would creep back in and bring about his demise.

201
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: And we'll hear about that the next time. Let's pray,

202
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: Dear God. We pray that in our own lives, that

203
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 3: we would overcome anger and rage and never give in

204
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 3: to our personal and selfish pursuits of getting Even Lord,

205
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: may we learn to forgive, But may we also learn

206
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 3: to do your will at all times and to walk

207
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: in obedience to you. May we live in the victory

208
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: that you have given us in Jesus Christ, and thank

209
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: you for the power of your spirit who enables us

210
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: to do great things for you. In Jesus's name. Amen.
