Samson and Samuel; I find an interesting contrast in these two men found in scripture. Though they both rise from similar backgrounds to become Judges in Israel their lives and service to God diverged greatly from those simple beginnings.
Technically Samuel was referred to as a Prophet and is not found in the book of Judges. He introduced the Era of Kings and it does say in 1st Samuel 7:15 "And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life".
Born to Barren women, Samson: Judges 13:2 and Samuel: 1st Samuel 1:11.
I don't have any hard comparisons of their lives just the observation that they start our pretty much the same yet they have very different lives mostly due to the priority they place on Gods call on their lives.
Just something I thought I'd put out here for folks to consider. I am sure there are some sermons/meditations in here somewhere.
