"Physically he [Samson] was the strongest man upon the earth;
but in self-control, integrity, and firmness, he was the weakest of men.
In suffering and humiliation, a sport for the Philistines, Samson learned more of his own weakness than he had ever known before; and his afflictions led him to repentance."
The Signs of the Times, October 13, 1881 / Patriarchs and Prophets, 566 E.G.W.
Q: What bitter fruit immediately occurred in Samson’s marriage with an unbeliever?
A: But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
Judges 14:20
“The wife, to obtain whom Samson had transgressed the command of God, proved treacherous to her husband before the close of the marriage feast. Incensed at her perfidy, Samson forsook her for the time, and went alone to his home at Zorah. When, afterward relenting, he returned for his bride, he found her the wife of another.” Patriarchs and Prophets, 563 E.G.W.
