Samson and Delilah (1887) by Jose Etxenagusia (or  José Echenagusía Errazquin). 

Samson and Delilah by Gerard van Honthorst (1615)  

*My fave paintings about this subject. The 1st one is from Spanish artist Etxenagusia depicting Delilah deceiving Samson to tell her the secret of his strength, The 2nd one is from Dutch artist Honthorst showing when Delilah is cutting his hair which is the secret of his power.

Dirt under the rug

Back when I was a kid I used to think all the bible characters were perfect examples of Christianity, like Samson who killed a lot of Philistines and slain a lion, King David who was called a man after God’s own heart, and King Solomon who was called the richest and wisest man that ever lived, but as time went by, when I read more into their lives, I saw the common flaws these men have committed, and it was sexual immorality. Samson, King David, and King Solomon had a keen interest for women, to think these men were called mighty men of God, yet they fell facedown because of lust and disobedience. Now you might think, Am I villainizing women? or Am I saying all men are the same? The answer is, that would preposterous! This goes to show that sin is cancer to us, a fire fanned by this world’s pleasures. If you think you are sinless, then think again. Lust and disobedience is just a tiny bit of what the enemy whispers to our ears, just as the saying goes “give the devil a little finger, and he’ll take the whole hand.” I know this whole thing is preachy, but are you living or are you just existing? Don’t be a slave to what this flesh desires. The story of these three mighty men did not end there, they got redemption, and found their way out. People love to throw rocks at other people when they see something wrong, don’t be like them. As Jesus said to the adulterous woman, “go and sin no more.” Let those who have eyes see, and those who have ears, hear. (painting by José Echenagusía Errazquin)

Great Lovers of Westeros, part II

Ormund Baratheon and Rhaelle Targaryen In 245 AC Princess Rhaelle fulfilled her father’s promise and wed Ormund Baratheon, young Lord of Storm’s End. The following year she gave him a son, Steffon, who served as a page and a squire at King’s Landing and became a close companion of Prince Aerys, eldest son of King Jaehaerys II and heir to the Iron Throne.

Alysanne Blackwood and Cregan Stark Lord Corlys was spared a trial by the machinations of Baela and Rhaena Targaryen, who convinced Aegon to issue an edict restoring to him his offices and honors, then by Black Aly Blackwood when she gave Lord Stark her hand in marriage in return for the boon of allowing Aegon’s edict to stand.

Denys Darklyn and Serala of Myr “In Duskendale they love Lord Denys still, despite the woe he brought them. ’Tis Lady Serala that they blame, his Myrish wife. The Lace Serpent, she is called. If Lord Darklyn had only wed a Staunton or a Stokeworth … well, you know how smallfolk will go on. The Lace Serpent filled her husband’s ear with Myrish poison, they say, until Lord Denys rose against his king and took him captive.”

Joffrey Lonmouth and Laenor Velaryon He shattered Breakbone’s collarbone and elbow, leading Mushroom to dub him Brokenbones, but the worst injuries he meted out were to Laenor’s favorite, the handsome knight Ser Joffrey Lonmouth, who was called the Knight of Kisses. Ser Joffrey was borne from the field senseless and bloody, and lingered for six days before dying, leaving Laenor to weep bitter tears of grief.

Mors Martell and Nymeria But Mors Martell, the Lord of the Sandship, saw in the newcomers an opportunity … and if the singers can be believed, his lordship also lost his heart to Nymeria, the fierce and beautiful warrior queen who had led her people across the world to keep them free.

Brynden Rivers and Shiera Seastar Bloodraven proved to be a capable Hand, but also a master of whisperers who rivaled Lady Misery, and there were those who thought he and his half sister and paramour, Shiera Seastar, used sorcery to ferret out secrets.

Barbrey Ryswell and Brandon Stark “Brandon was fostered at Barrowton with old Lord Dustin, the father of the one I’d later wed, but he spent most of his time riding the Rills. And my lord father was always pleased to play host to the heir to Winterfell. My father had great ambitions for House Ryswell. He would have served up my maidenhead to any Stark who happened by, but there was no need. Brandon was never shy about taking what he wanted. I am old now, a dried-up thing, too long a widow, but I still remember the look of my maiden’s blood on his cock the night he claimed me. I think Brandon liked the sight as well. A bloody sword is a beautiful thing, yes. It hurt, but it was a sweet pain.”

Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen “The Others take your honor!” Robert swore. “What did any Targaryen ever know of honor? Go down into your crypt and ask Lyanna about the dragon’s honor!” “You avenged Lyanna at the Trident,” Ned said, halting beside the king.

Alysanne and Jaehaerys I Targaryen For forty-six years, the Old King and Good Queen Alysanne were wed, and for the most part it was a happy marriage, with children and grandchildren aplenty. Two estrangements are recorded, but they did not last more than a year or two before the pair resumed their customary friendship. The Second Quarrel, however, is of note, as it was due to Jaehaerys’s decision in 92 AC to pass over his granddaughter Rhaenys— the daughter of his deceased eldest son and heir, Prince Aemon— in favor of bestowing Dragonstone and the place of heir apparent on his next eldest son, Baelon the Brave. Alysanne saw no reason why a man should be favored over a woman … and if Jaehaerys thought women of less use, then he would have no need of her. They reconciled in time, but the Old King outlived his beloved queen, and in his last years it was said that the grief of their parting hung over his court like a pall.

Jaehaerys II and Shaera Targaryen Though King Aegon had acquired a distaste for the Valyrian custom of incestuous marriage during his years amongst the smallfolk, Prince Jaehaerys was of a more traditional bent, for from a very early age he had loved his sister Shaera and dreamed of wedding her in the old Targaryen fashion. Once aware of his desires, King Aegon and Queen Betha had done their best to separate the two, yet somehow distance only seemed to inflame the mutual passion of this prince and princess.
