Samson
How old was Samson when he died? It seems very likely that he was born shortly after the Ark was lost. And also that he died 19-20 years later. Will the events in Samson’s life fit?
Consider; He wanted a wife. He got married, but that turned out poorly so he killed some Philistines. The Philistines killed his wife and father-in-law. He killed more Philistines. The men of Judah bound him and gave him to the Philistines. He killed 1000 more Philistines. He loved Delilah, which also turned out badly. He tried to kill more Philistines (it was Samson’s answer for everything, it seems), but instead he was blinded and taken captive. At this point, he was chained to a mill, and his hair began to grow long again. Then, at a yearly festival for Dagon, presumably a few months later, when many Philistines were gathered together…
