His name is associated with strength and deliverance, as he was chosen by God to begin the deliverance of Israel from the Philistines.

Cultural and Historical Background: Samson lived during a tumultuous period in Israel's history, characterized by cycles of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance.
