Samson and Delilah Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Samson's story fills four chapters of the Book of Judges, 13 to 16, and Delilah only appears in the last one. Before her come a RIDDLE about HONEY, three hundred FOXES and a battle fought with a donkey's JAWBONE. This word find follows the whole account, ending with the PILLARS of the TEMPLE at GAZA. The site's David and Goliath grid is a good companion for a Sunday school series.

Frequently asked questions

What was Samson's riddle?

Out of the eater came something to eat; out of the strong came something sweet. It pointed to bees making HONEY inside the body of a lion he had killed (Judges 14).

Why was his hair so important?

Samson was a NAZIRITE, set apart from birth, and his vow meant no RAZOR could touch his head. When Delilah had his hair cut, his STRENGTH left him (Judges 16).
