2 years and 316 days.
4 years and 14 days.
If neither years is a leap year, 735 days = 2 years, 5 days. If either is a leap year, it is 2 years, 4 days.
27 years, 4 months, 15 days.
There is 4 years and 12 days in 1472 days.
He beat the Philistines one time when was the king but he beat the philistines two times in King Saul's days. That makes it three times in his life.
In Israel it lasts seven days, and in the diaspora (out of Israel) it lasts eight days.
AnswerI very much doubt that Samson was a judge. Even though he is mentioned in the book of Judges.Another answerThree chapters of the Bible are devoted to the exploits of Samson, i.e. Judges chapters 14, 15 & 16.The book of Judges is a summary of the period of Israelite history after the death of Joshua but before the time of Judean Kings.The Israelites had been suffering attacks from Canaanites and Philistines and other tribal groups, so 'The LORD raised up judges, who saved them [the Israelites] out of the power of those who plundered them.' -Judges 2:16 RSVFurther, it adds 'And when the LORD raised them up judges, the the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge...' -Judges 2:18.Samson was one of those 'raised up' as a judge, to deliver Israel from their oppressors.This special mission of Samson was revealed before his birth. In chapter 13 verses 3-5 we read that his mother was told she would conceive a son 'who shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.' When he was born she named him Samson, 'And the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.' -ch 13:24Judges chapters 14 to 16 then relate key features of Samson's life, showing how he continued to fulfill his commission throughout his life.'And he [Samson] judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.' -Judges 15:20 KJV, RSVAfter Samson died and was buried, Judges chapter 16 concludes with 'He had judged Israel twenty years.'Samson is also given honorable mention in the New Testament, being included in a list of those who 'enforced justice(Footnote 1), ... won strength out of weakness, ... put foreign enemies to flight.' -Hebrews 11:32,33 RSVAfter describing earlier key situations in Israelite history, Acts 13:20 continues 'And after that he gave unto them judges ... until Samuel(Footnote 2) the prophet.' This period covers the time when Samson played a significant part in Israelite history.JUDGING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DELIVERANCEA judge is one who makes judgments and ensures that justice is done.Regarding Solomon, son of King David, and one of the early kings of Israel, Psalm 72:1-4 asks:"Give thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, he shall break in pieces the oppressor."How apt these words are regarding Samson's twenty year record of judgment upon the oppressor of Israel in the interests of bringing peace to the people.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOOTNOTES(1) 'administered justice' (NIV)(2) 'until Samuel' -After Israel had reaped the benefits of having judges, Samuel was instrumental in establishing a new arrangement, a dynasty of kings.
Seven days in Israel, eight elsewhere.
In the Biblical story found in 1 Samuel 17, David a small boy kills a mighty giant of a warrior called Goliath.The army of Philistines prepared for battle against Israel and camped in the area between Socoh and Azekah. King Saul of Israel gathered his army and camped near the valley of Elah. For many days, Goliath, a giant among the Philistines challenged the Israelites to send out a champion to meet him in combat. David, a young shepherd boy, answered the challenge and went out to meet Goliath with a sling and a handful of stones. David defeats Goliath with a well-placed stone into Goliath's forehead. David cuts off Goliath's head with Goliath's own sword. The Philistines see their champion defeated and turn to run away. The Israelites chase down the Philistines killing many of them. Israel's army returns to plunder the deserted Philistine's camp.
In Israel, Shavuot is 1 day. In the diaspora, it is 2 days.
In Israel it's celebrated for 7 days while outside Israel, Succot is celebrated for 8 days.
Saul chased David for several years, around 8-10 years. Their conflict began when David defeated Goliath and continued until Saul's death in battle against the Philistines.
The period of the judges began soon after the death of Joshua about B.C. 1361 and lasted until Saul was made King of Israel about B.C. 1020. The very last verse in Judges tells us, " In those days (the days of the judges) there was no king in Israel: Everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Samuel, the priest who anointed Saul to be king and later anointed David was the last judge in Israel.
