📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Judges, Israel was experiencing cycles of disobedience, oppression by enemies like the Philistines, and deliverance through leaders called judges raised by God. Samson was one such judge, announced by an angel to his parents and set apart as a Nazirite from birth to lead Israel against the Philistines. The Spirit of the LORD stirring him in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol, which were locations in the tribal territory of Dan, marks the beginning of his supernatural empowerment for this role.
