* DeadpanSnarker: The Israelites constantly abandon Yahweh and turn to other gods, causing God to remove His protection and allowing foreign powers to invade them. This causes the Israelites to turn back to Him, and He helps them drive out their oppressors. However, only a generation or so later, the pattern repeats itself. After this happens for the third time, and the Israelites beseech God for help, Yahweh, in an epic snark moment, tells them: "You know, I'm growing tired of having to save you all the time, since you will only turn your back on Me again as soon as everything is back to normal. Turn instead to the new gods that you have chosen; may they save you when you're in trouble!"

* SecretTest: One interpretation, popular among military historians, gives this as the true lesson behind the story of [[BadassIsraeli Gideon]]. Faced with a superior opponent, Gideon starts with a host of 32,000 men. He begins by [[YouCanTurnBack asking for volunteers only]], which drops him down to 10,000 men. Then he puts them through a grueling march across the desert, at the end of which is an oasis. Most of the men put their faces down to the water, but 300 men scoop up the water in their hands so that they can keep watch while they drink. Those 300 are selected as the [[BadassArmy most spirited, most disciplined, and most well-conditioned of all his men]], and with them Gideon conducts the first Special Forces raid in recorded history: they infiltrate the enemy camp with trumpets and clay jars, surround their sleeping opponents, and proceed to blow their horns and smash their jars. Their opponents are understandably scared to all hell by the utterly weird nature of the attack and rout immediately, where they are slaughtered to a man by a separate blocking force of Israelites. The Bible credits Divine Inspiration for the whole thing, but whether or not you believe it, it's hard not to see the parallels between Gideon's method and modern Special Forces selection.
* SecretWord: In Judges 12:5–6:
--> The Gileadites held the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And when any fugitive from Ephraim said, "Let me cross," the men of Gilead would ask him, "Are you an Ephraimite?"; if he said "No," they would say to him, "Then say ''shibboleth''"; but he would say "''sibboleth''," not being able to pronounce it correctly. Thereupon they would seize him and slay him by the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell at that time.

* OathboundPower: Samson was bound by the Nazirite vow from birth, in return for which he had stupendous power, with which he slaughtered hordes of Philistines. The vow stipulated that he forgo practices such as drinking wine or cutting his hair. When the deceptive Delilah found this out, she had his hair cut and he was captured. Eventually the Philistines set out to sacrifice him to their god, but by then his hair had grown back, and he destroyed their temple in a classic example of TakingYouWithMe.

"After two months' time, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. She had never known a man. So it became a custom in Israel for the maidens of Israel to go every year, for four days in the year, and chant dirges for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite."

* MagicHair: Samson was granted supernatural strength by God in order to combat his enemies and perform heroic feats, including wrestling and killing a lion with his bare hands, slaying a Philistine army with only a [[BadWithTheBone jawbone of a donkey]], etc. There was a catch though: he couldn't drink any kind of alcohol and he couldn't shave his hair -- if he did that, he would lose his super strength. Unfortunately, he told this to his lover Delilah, who then cut his hair and sold him to the Philistines, who stabbed out his eyes with their swords. After being blinded, Samson was brought to Gaza, imprisoned, and put to work grinding grain. Later, the Philistines leaders and common people gathered in the temple of their god Dagon, for having delivered Samson into their hands. They summon Samson in order to ridicule him, but once inside the temple, Samson asks a guard one question: can he lean on the central pillars? Soon enough the gathered Philistines realized something -- hair is known for [[OhCrap growing]] [[TakingYouWithMe back]]...
