AXGJ5C - Royalty Free Caption Founains of Petergof.Petrodvorets, Russia. Samson strangling of a lion. Description Samson, in the Old Testament, Hebrew hero. It is stated that he was the son of Manoah of Zorah, of the tribe of Dan. Manoah's wife was barren, but an angel appeared to her and promised a son and said the boy should be a Nazarite, that is, a consecrated person. No razor was to touch the boy's head, and it was through the supernatural strength with which his hair endowed him that Samson performed his great feats, including the strangling of a lion and the slaying of a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Finally he was betrayed by a Philistine woman, Delilah, who had his head shaved and then handed him over to the Philistines. Later, at a festival in honor of Dagon, the Philistine deity, Samson was exhibited as a public spectacle. By this time, however, his hair had grown back; he exerted his great strength and pulled down the pillars of the house in which 3000 Philistines had assembled, burying the multitude and himself in the ruins.
