Samson's incredible power is limited by his weakness for women. Many times in his life he was brought low due to his associations with women of questionable character and reputation. His dalliances with Delilah brought him to slavery. Yes, he destroyed many Philistines in his death; but what a price to pay for low moral character.
Because there was no governing law in the land (all did what they thought best) some decided that worship could be conducted the same way. A man named Micah hired his own personal priest to travel with him. Marauding bands raided Micah's home and stole his possessions, including the priest who freely gave his loyalty to these new masters. The items taken from Micah's house became family idols for these marauders.
