And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled" (1 Samuel 17.51).

Explanation
Jesus spoke to the multitude on the plain. After Jesus had gone up the mount to pray (Luke 6.12-13), and his disciples had come to him and he taught them (Matthew 5.1-2), "he came down with them and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases." (Luke 6.17).

Explanation
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt. "And they (two disciples) brought the colt to Jesus and cast their garments on him, and he sat upon him" (Mark 2.7); and "they (two disciples) brought him (a colt) to Jesus and they cast their garments upon the colt and Jesus sat thereon" (Luke 19.35).

Explanation
The cross on which Jesus was to be crucified was carried by Simon of Cyrene - Roman guards "found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross (Matthew 27.32); "And they compel one Simon, the Cyrenian, who passed by... to bear his cross" (Mark 15.21); "they laid upon Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross" (Luke 23.26).

Explanation
The Gospels of Matthew and Luke both state Jesus cried out again after saying "My God, my God why hast thou foresaken me?". No account mentions "Oh Lord why hast thou foresaken me. The other two Gospels give different versions of the last words by Jesus on the cross - "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said `Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit` and having said thus, he gave up the ghost" (Luke 23.46); and "Jesus knowing that all things were not accomplished that the scriptures might be fulfilled, saith `I thirst`. When Jesus there-fore had received the vinegar, he said `It is finished` and gave up the ghost." (John 19.26-29).

Explanation

"And she [Delilah] made him [Samson] sleep upon her knees, and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of hs head, and she began to affect him, and his strength went from him" (Judges 16.19).
