Unearthed stone seal may depict Old Testament judge Samson

A small stone seal unearthed in Israel is likely the first archaeological evidence of the Old Testament judge Samson, say the co-directors of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Center for Archaeological Research. Tel Aviv University archeologists found the seal on an excavation at the Beth Shemesh site in the Judean Hills near Samson’s hometown, and it dates to the time of the judges.
