The Cry of the Mightiest

The story of Samson and Delilah told from the narrative of the last person ever to speak with Samson.


Blinded by untrue love, overconfident in limited power; people’s view of Samson is usually that of a lustful beast – the fool who fell for the pretty lips of a deceitful woman. But what if there is so much more to the story? What if the long-haired brute gifted with incredible strength also had a heart we can relate with? Had emotions, pain, feelings, remorse just like us?

Look through the eyes of the boy who held Samson’s hand as he was led to his death. Listen to the final words of a man who was gifted with so much only in his final hours to realize he had squandered it all. For anyone who has ever been betrayed, lost everything, had their heart broken, been scorned by others, felt isolated from everyone – this is your story, written that you would know you’re not alone; lived out by a person who came long before us, yet still knows exactly how we feel.

Maybe he wasn’t the dumb fool we imagine – maybe he was just like you and me.
