Judges 12-14 Samson "Right to Me"

There was peace for 31 years…but once again the people did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and they suffered the consequences.
Now they are under the oppression of the Philistines…and will be for some time…as they will become the sworn enemies of Israel.
This will be a dark time in the history of Israel…spiritually.
Notice the people are enslaved to the Philistines but there is no record of them calling out to God for deliverance…
There is no confession or repentance for their sin…and the reason they have cried out to God…
Is because they have assimilated into the culture around them.
They were becoming used to the idea that they were serving the Philistines…
But no matter who was placed over them…they were to serve God no matter what.
