Baya ga mukamin da kansa, cikakkun bayanai game da rayuwar Samson sun nuna shi a matsayin wanda zai jagoranci sarki mai zuwa, da kuma a matsayin alama ta wannan sarkin. A matsayinsa na alƙali, Ubangiji ya ba Samson umarni a cikin Mahukunta 13:5: “Zai fara ceton Isra’ila daga hannun Filistiyawa” (an ƙara jaddadawa). Ta wannan hanyar, Samson yana da alaƙa da Sarki Dauda, ​​wanda zai kammala abin da Samson ya fara da ceton Isra’ila daga Filistiyawa (1 Sam. 17; 2 Sam. 7:1).

A matsayinsa na wanda ya fara zuwan Sarki Dauda, ​​abin sha’awa ne a lura cewa marubutan Linjilar Sabon Alkawari sun yi amfani da labarin rayuwar Samson a cikin littafin Mahukunta a matsayin abin koyi ga labarin rayuwar Yahaya Maibaftisma, wani da ya fara zuwa ga Sarkin Dauda. Duk labaran sun fara ne da labarai iri ɗaya na haihuwa (Alƙa. 13; Luka 1:5–25). Duk uwaye ba su da haihuwa (Alƙa. 13:2; Luka 1:7). An hana su duka daga ruwan inabi da abin sha mai ƙarfi kafin haihuwarsu (Alƙa. 13:3–5; Luka 1:15). A cikin labaran biyu, mala’ikan Ubangiji ya yi sanarwar haihuwa (Alƙa. 13:3; Luka 1:11). Ubanni biyu sun yi fama da gaskata labarin mala’ikan Ubangiji (Alƙa. 13:16–17; Luka 1:18–20). Labarun haihuwa duka sun rubuta aikin ko bayanin aikin kowane mutum (Alƙa. 13:5; Luka 1:16–17). A rayuwa ta gaba, Samson da Yahaya Maibaftisma an ci amanarsu ta hanyar mata (Delilah da ‘yar Hirudiya, bi da bi), wanda hakan ya haifar da mutuwarsu daga ƙarshe (Alƙalawa 16; Matta 14:1–12). A ƙarshe, duka mutanen biyun suna aiki a matsayin wandanda suka zo kafin zuwan wani Sarki wanda zai kawo hutu mafi girma ga mutanen Allah (2 Sam. 7:1; Matta 11:28).

A gaskiya ma, an ambaci aikin Ruhu sau huɗu tare da Samson, fiye da kowane alƙali a cikin littafin Mahukunta (Alƙa. 13:25; 14:6, 19; 15:14). Duk da gazawa iri-iri a rayuwarsa waɗanda ke nuna buƙatar wanda ya fi shi girma, Samson ya kasance mai aminci ga kiransa na kayar da Filistiyawa, mai aminci har ma da mutuwa. A cikin mutuwarsa, Samson ya sami babban nasararsa a kan abokan gaba, nasara da ta zo a cikin mahallin wulaƙancinsa, babban nuna ƙarfin gaske. A cikin littafin Mahukunta, Samson wani alama ne na Almasihu, ba irin ku ko ni ba. Samson da Yesu masu ceto ne, kuma mu ne waɗanda ke buƙatar ceto. Da yake lura da muhimmancin rayuwar Samson a cikin littafin Mahukunta, Barry Webb ya lura:

Aikin cetonsa ya ƙare a cikin mutuwarsa, mutuwar da ya saukar da Dagon kuma ya kafa harsashin ceto don bayyanawa sosai a nan gaba.
