Which book of the Bible recounts the death of Joshua and the life of Samson?
"given to the descendants of Aaron in Ephraim, so theologians Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch suppose the land may have been at Geba in the territory of the Tribe of Benjamin: ""the situation, 'upon the mountains of Ephraim', is not at variance with this view, as these mountains extended, according to Judges 4:5, etc., far into the territory of Benjamin"". In some manuscripts and editions of the Septuagint, there is an additional verse relating to the apostasy of the Israelites after Joshua's death. The Book of Joshua is an anonymous work.

Treating Samuel and Kings as single books, they cover: The Book of Joshua (""Yehoshua"" יהושע) contains a history of the Israelites from the death of Moses to that of Joshua.

"Book of Joshua (Samaritan) The Samaritan Book of Joshua is a Samaritan chronicle so called because the greater part of it is devoted to the history of Joshua. It is extant in two divergent recensions, one in Samaritan Hebrew and the other in Arabic. The ""editio princeps"" is a published an Arabic manuscript written in the Samaritan alphabet, with a Latin translation and a long preface by T. W. Juynboll (Leyden, 1848). The Samaritan Hebrew version was published in 1908 by Moses Gaster. Though based on the Hebrew canonical Book of Joshua, it differs greatly from the latter in both"
"ancient Israel. The best known Biblical account featuring lions comes from the Book of Daniel (chapter 6), where Daniel is thrown into a den of lions and miraculously survives. A lesser known Biblical account features Samson who kills a lion with his bare hands, later sees bees nesting in its carcass, and poses a riddle based on this unusual incident to test the faithfulness of his fiancée (Judges 14). The prophet Amos said (Amos, 3, 8): ""The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?"", i.e., when the gift of prophecy comes"

"Joshua Joshua () or Jehoshua ( ""Yehoshuʿa"") is the central figure in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Joshua. According to the books of Exodus, Numbers and Joshua, he was Moses' assistant and became the leader of the Israelite tribes after the death of Moses. His name was Hoshea () the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim, but Moses called him Joshua (), the name by which he is commonly known. The name is shortened to Yeshua in Nehemiah (). According to the Bible he was born in Egypt prior to the Exodus. According to the Hebrew Bible, Joshua"
"Joshua's death (; cf. ). The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges suggests that ""the death of Joshua may be regarded as marking the division between the period of conquest and the period of occupation"", the latter being the focus of the Book of Judges. The Israelites meet, most likely at the sanctuary at Gilgal or at Shechem (following on from ) and ask the Lord who should be first (in order of time, not of rank) to secure the land they are to occupy.

"Samson asked to rest against one of the support pillars; after being granted permission, he prayed to God and miraculously recovered his strength, allowing him to grasp hold of the columns and tear them down, killing himself and all the Philistines with him. In some Jewish traditions, Samson is believed to have been buried in Tel Tzora in Israel overlooking the Sorek valley. Samson has been the subject of both rabbinic and Christian commentary, with some Christians viewing him as a type of Jesus, based on similarities between their lives. Notable depictions of Samson include John Milton's closet drama ""Samson"
"(Heracles by Deianira, Samson by Delilah), who led them to their respective dooms. Both heroes, champions of their respective peoples, die by their own hands: Heracles ends his life on a pyre; whereas Samson makes the Philistine temple collapse upon himself and his enemies. In this interpretation, the annunciation of Samson's birth to his mother is a censored account of divine conception. Samson also strongly resembles Shamgar, another hero mentioned in the Book of Judges, who, in , is described as having slain 600 Philistines with an ox-goad. These views are disputed by traditional and conservative biblical scholars who consider"
"following is taken from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible: According to the chronology of the Bible, Methuselah died during the year of the flood. Methuselah is mentioned once in the Hebrew Bible outside of Genesis; in , he is mentioned in a genealogy of Saul. Methuselah is mentioned a single time in the New Testament, when the Gospel of Luke traces Saint Joseph's lineage back to Adam in . The apocryphal Book of Enoch claims to be revelations of Enoch, transcribed by him and entrusted to be preserved for future generations by his son, Methuselah. In this"
"Following this trend, more recent Christian commentators have viewed Samson as a type of Jesus Christ, based on similarities between Samson's story and the life of Jesus in the New Testament. Samson's and Jesus' births were both foretold by angels, who predicted that they would save their people. Samson was born to a barren woman, and Jesus was born of a virgin. Samson defeated a lion; Jesus defeated Satan, whom the First Epistle of Peter describes as a ""roaring lion looking for someone to devour"". Samson's betrayal by Delilah has also been compared to Jesus' betrayal by Judas Iscariot; both"

In II Kings (14:19) and II Chronicles 25:27, Amaziah of Judah flees to Lachish after he was defeated by Jehoash of Israel, where he is captured and executed.

The film stars Taylor James as Samson, along with Jackson Rathbone, Billy Zane, Caitlin Leahy, Rutger Hauer, and Lindsay Wagner. The film was released in the United States on February 16, 2018. A narration tells us how the Hebrews had done wrong and were thus put in the hands of the brutal Philistines. The Philistines are collecting food from Hebrews.

"Jewish classical literature, two distinct sites in the land of Judah bore the name Timnath (Timnah). The Book of Joshua records the names of two towns, both in the tribal inheritance of Judah and having the identical name of Timnath; the one Timnath being transcribed alongside the name of Beit Shemesh, while the other Timnath being transcribed alongside the name of Gibeah (of Judah), a town said to be Jab'a. The Jerusalem Talmud (""Sotah"" 1:8) relates the following tradition: ""Rav has said: There were two Timnaths; one mentioned in connection with Judah, and the other mentioned in connection with Samson."""
"and local sort"". He also considers that Samson stories have, in contrast to much of Judges, an ""almost total lack of a religious or moral tone"". Conversely, Elon Gilad of ""Haaretz"" writes ""some biblical stories are flat-out cautions against marrying foreign women, none more than the story of Samson"". Gilad notes how Samson's parents disapprove of his desire to marry a Philistine woman and how Samson's relationship with Delilah leads to his demise. He contrasts this with what he sees as a more positive portrayal of intermarriage in the Book of Ruth. In August 2012, archaeologists from Tel Aviv University"

The account in 1 Chronicles summarises by stating that: There are several textual or narrative issues in the text, including the aforementioned conflicting accounts of Saul's rise to kingship and his death, as well as plays on words, that biblical scholars have discussed.

Thus, ""The Manga Bible"" focuses on books that provide action and it also shows the violence and sexuality that is portrayed in the Bible.

Together with his wife, Manoah subsequently tried to dissuade Samson from marrying a Philistine woman, but traveled with him to Timnah for the wedding ceremony when they were unable to do so.
