where is the story of samson and delilah found
Delilah Delilah was a woman of Sorek.[1] She is the only woman in Samson's story who is named.[4] The Bible says that Samson loved her (Judges 16:4) but not that she loved him.[4] The two were not married[4] and the idea that they had a sexual relationship is, in the words of Josey Bridges Snyder, "at most implicit in the biblical text".[5] The lords of the Philistines bribed her to discover the source of Samson's great strength, each offering to give her 1,100 silver coins.[1][6] Three times she failed.[1]
Book of Amos The Book of Amos is the third of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and the second in the Greek Septuagint tradition.[1] Amos, an older contemporary of Hosea and Isaiah,[2] was active c. 750 BCE during the reign of Jeroboam II[2] (788â€“747 BCE),[3] making the Book of Amos the first biblical prophetic book written. Amos lived in the kingdom of Judah but preached in the northern kingdom of Israel.[2] His major themes of social justice, God's omnipotence, and divine judgment became staples of prophecy.[2]
