He ruled Israel for twenty years, and observed the vows to God of never cutting his hair. From a very young boy God had a special purpose for him. He was no stranger to God and is seen in Chapters 15 and 16 as a man of prayer. His strength could match any super-hero that the children would admire today. He had many of the qualities of what a true hero is seen as today and did some amazing things because of his strength. He had strength, power, fame, fortune, people who admired him and people who feared him. But most importantly, for most of his life he acknowledged God and that God was where his strength came from.
