At another time Samson stayed part of a night in a city of the Philistines, called Gaza. And the dwellers in Gaza shut the gates, and set men to watch them, so that when he should come out they might kill him.
But before morning Samson arose, tore down the great gate of the city, carried it on his shoulders to a hill, and left it there.
All the wonderful things that Samson did, and how he finally died, a prisoner to the Philistines, are recorded in Judges 13-16.
The Child Samuel.
About fifty years after Samson's death, Samuel was born, who was to be both a judge and a prophet. His mother was a good woman. The Bible says, she "lent him to the Lord as long as he liveth." 1 Samuel 11:28.
Eli was priest at this time in the temple of the Lord, and "the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli."
While Samuel was a small boy, it came to pass one night, ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep, that the Lord called Samuel, and he answered, "Here am I," thinking Eli had called him.
Three times this occurred. Then Samuel said, "Speak, Lord; for Thy servant heareth."
Let us answer the Lord as did Samuel. He speaks to each of us in His word, the Bible.
