7 Samson said to them, “Since you’ve acted like this, I swear that I won’t stop until I get my revenge on you.”
11 Then three thousand men from Judah went down to the cave in the rock of Etam and said to Samson, “Don’t you realize that the Philistines are rulers over us? What have you done to us?”
He answered, “I merely did to them what they did to me.”
Sampson sounds like a little kid, he hit me first. There is no turning of the other cheek in this chapter. So while God gave Sampson the strength to win his battle, my take away here is more around actions of hate and vengeance create more hate. I should avoid reacting to behaviors of others, I can only control myself.
