And here endeth my multi-post saga of the great train journey up to Jerusalem through the Valley of Soreq.
But not without recalling a Bible story --
"And it came to pass afterward, that he [Samson] loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah."
Yes, the famous story of Samson and Delilah -- how she tricked him into revealing the secret of his super strength, how she revealed it to the Philistines, and how they cut off his hair and weakened him.
Read it in Judges 16.
Then see more about Samson and a bit about Delilah.

I've always had a fondness for the name Delilah.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful valley.
ReplyDeleteThe name obviously reminds me of the old song...
ReplyDeleteVP, "Why why why, Delilah . . . ?" Now I remember too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a thrill to know that these are real places, and that you travel through them.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read about Samson and Delilah, I picture Victor Mature. I used to watch those old movies when I was a kid.
