Answer 1

I thought the story of Samson was satire.

Answer 2

They do it brilliantly. What's more, they have the wit to put it into poetic form, which is the real vehicle of satire. Don't believe me? Read this....

"Tell them this: 'The stick gods
who made nothing, neither sky nor earth,
Will come to nothing
on the earth and under the sky.'
But it is God whose power made the earth,
whose wisdom gave shape to the world,
who crafted the cosmos.
He thunders, and rain pours down.
He sends the clouds soaring.
He embellishes the storm with lightnings,
launches wind from his warehouse.
Stick-god worshipers looking mighty foolish,
god-makers embarrassed by their handmade gods!
Their gods are frauds - dead sticks,
deadwood gods, tasteless jokes.
When the fires of judgment come, they'll be ashes."

Hope your literary education is up for this bit of Hebrew verse.
