Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, and went in to her.
Samson’s weakness for women stands out in the record of his evening with the Gaza prostitute (Judges 16:1). This was unquestionably inappropriate behavior for a Nazirite whom God had called to deliver Israel from the very enemy he was romancing. Any reference to the leading of the Lord is notably absent here (cf. Judges 14:4). Samson’s weakness contrasts with his strength throughout this chapter. Here we see his moral and spiritual weakness.
