Judges 16:16
With such nagging she prodded him day after day until he was sick to death of it.
Jeff E. from Hartselle, AL said:
I can relate. To be pressed by some one you care about deeply to do something you feel is wrong causes you to begin to question your self and they are in your head and your in your head it is a type of brainwashing torture. I am sure their is a life lesson in there somewhere. I would say it seemed fairly obvious that she was up to no good and Samson should have walked away.
Oh well, some times love will blind you to the truth.

This makes me think of Jesus and Peter,how Peter or any of the other desciples could have easily
went to Pilate or Herod and plead for his life ,instead they ran and hid and Peter even denied
knowing Jesus.We should all want to be and have a friend like Jonathan.

all he had to do is follow through.
