##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
This article is an analysis of the story of Samson and Delilah which has many different views
and interpretations, especially the interpretations of feminist scholars, so that this diversity
creates ambiguity in the text itself. This story is considered a parable that has theological
meaning and it is further said that the narrative is primarily about power relations between
various individuals, national power, and God. This research uses a qualitative literature
study method which examines the text of Judges 16:4-22 by looking at various
interpretations from feminist experts and also comparing them with other interpretations.
The purpose of this research is to see whether the love story of Samson and Delilah is only a
parable or whether it is related to the power of a woman over a man. This aim also leads to
comparisons with parables in the New Testament. The love story between Samson and
Delilah is a theological story about the power of women who use love to conquer the power
of men.
Artikel ini adalah sebuah analisis terhadap kisah Simson dan Delilah yang memiliki
banyak pandangan dan perbedaan penafsiran khususnya penafsiran para sarjana
feminis, sehingga keberagaman ini menimbulkan ambiguitas dalam teks itu sendiri. Kisah
ini dianggap sebuah perumpamaan yang memiliki makna teologis dan lebih lanjut
dikatakan bahwa narasinya terutama tentang hubungan kekuasaan antara berbagai
individu, kekuasaan bangsa, dan Tuhan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif
studi pustaka yang meneliti teks Hakim-Hakim 16:4-22 dengan melihat berbagai
penafsiran dari para ahli feminis dan juga membandingkannya dengan penafsiran lain.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat kisah cinta Simson dan Delila apakah
hanya sebatas perumpamaan atau memang berkaitan dengan kekuasaan seorang
perempuan terhadap pria. Tujuan ini juga mengarah pada perbandingan dengan
perumpamaan di Perjanjian Baru. Kisah cinta antara Simson dan Delila adalah kisah
teologis mengenai kekuasaan perempuan yang menggunakan rasa cinta untuk
menaklukkan kekuatan pria.
