jt: I have read the account of Samson's death and I don't see any revenge/suicide involved in it.  What I do see is godly repentance - for Samson cried out to God to anoint him one last time - Yes he knew he would die with his enemies but without the empowerment that could come only from God this would never have happened.  You have made God complicit in suicide and revenge along with Samson


Judges 16:28   "Then Samson called to the Lord and said, 'Oh Lord God, please remember me and please stregthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."  

Your paragraph above is the reasoning for including Samson in the Hall of Faith.   My comment above is the reason why I am right about his death.
