A hero of Israel in the time of the judges: Samson led Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines. Judges 15:20

With the death of Joshua, the period of the judges began in Israel, an aristocracy that formed the first government of the promised land, during this time that was prior to the establishment of the first monarchy with King Saul, God raised up leaders to strengthen the people in the fear of God and the fidelity to the covenant made on Mount Horeb through the prophet Moses.
The Book of Judges relates that despite the conquest some pagan peoples remained in the land of Canaan because the Lord had so ordered: "They were left to test the Israelites to see whether they would obey the LORD's commands, which he had given their ancestors through Moses" Judges 3:4.
The judges according to the Bible were very particular characters, and among them, a very particular hero, Samson, stood out. Like the prophet Samuel and King David, the judge Samson was also chosen from the womb to fulfill a spiritual mission, and Samson was probably a Nazirite because according to the Bible, an angel communicated this fact to his father Manoah.
And this is how the Book of Judges relates how the word of God was fulfilled in Samson:
"The woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson. He grew and the LORD blessed him, and the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him while he was a Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol" Judges 13:24-25.
The Bible also says that Sansom was a great enemy of the Philistines, performed superhuman feats, and led Israel in the accomplishment of the law: Samson led Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines. Judges 15:20.
Samson was the last notable judge described in the Book of Judges and he with his actions paved the way for the arrival of the prophet Samuel who would later anoint Saul as the first king of Israel.
