  • Epic Jawbone



    If we had a video recording of the battle above, that was clearly of epic proportions, precisely what would we see? For example, how did the Philistine battalion arrange itself in opposition to Samson to the point that Samson was able to work his way through 1000 soldiers with a jawbone? Was he just smacking them one-by-one? How did this battle literally play out?

    He made it into a boomerang and threw it at them while they were lined up.

      Multiple people attacking one person can get in each others' way. He was probably larger than the norm, giving him greater reach, and may well have been blessed with supernatural speed as well as strength.

        They all came at him one at a time. Just like in the movies.


        Does it really matter?

          It could also be that when they say "a thousand" that it is not meant to be seen as an exact number but rather an indication that he slew a very large number.

            That is almost certainly the case.

                  Thank you all, very much so, for your input.

                  I think we can all agree that this was an epic; nay, jaw-dropping battle, indeed.

                      I think some people might have a bone to pick with you about that joke.

                        That really would be epic.

                              Brings back fond memories of Dracochronicler and his rants about Yahweh being a fire-breathing dragon.
