"And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah" (Judges 16:4).
Samson did not seem to have good luck with women. This time, he allows himself to be snagged by Delilah, who lived in the valley of Sorek. We all know how that relationship ended.
In this brook's valley Delilah deceived Samson, he was captured by the Philistines, his eyes were gouged out, and he ground grain in prison. His life then ended with a heroic act in which many Philistines were killed. One thing for sure, Samson had a life like no other. His life was "never a dull moment" to the hilt.
Pictured here is the Brook Sorek, not far from Timnath, Eshtaol, and Zorah, other places that Samson frequented.
