Judges 13 - 16

We have the story of Samson, who was given by God to judge Israel for 20 years. He was dedicated to God from before his birth, and demonstrated mighty works of God against the Philistines. Hebrews 11:32 includes Samson in the accounting of those who exhibited great faith, which is difficult for many to see. Samson was highly flawed, yet God used him mightily as long as he obeyed. His flaws and sensual lusts brought him down, but he had great faith in God in his death, and it can be said that he ended well.
