Samson and Delilah are the classic lesson about trusting someone who schemes. Samson told the secret of his great strength to his wife, Delilah, and she betrayed him to the enemy. Judges 14
2. Ananias - Sapphira
Ananias and Sapphira are the only people in the New Testament who were struck dead by the Lord for a sin. They were a married couple who sold a piece of property. They weren’t required to give all the money to God, but they lied when they brought their gift and said that it was all of the purchase price. That was a fatal mistake! Acts 5
3. Timothy - Eunice

Zipporah was a Midianite woman who became Moses’ wife. Exodus 2:15-21

Zechariah and Elizabeth were the parents of John the Baptist. John was born when Elizabeth was old, and Zechariah was temporarily struck dumb because he did not believe this was possible. Luke 1:5-23

Lazarus and Mary (not the mother of Jesus) are brother and sister. Martha was another sister. They were close friends of Jesus. John 11:1
7. Aeneas - Dorcas
Aeneas and Dorcas are only connected by the fact that they lived in nearby towns, and were both miraculously restored to health by Peter. But their stories appear side by side in Acts 9.
8. Ahab - Jezebel
Ahab was declared to be the most wicked king of Israel. His wife Jezebel was so evil that her name has become synonymous with evil manipulation and deceit. 1 Kings 21:25
9. Barak - Deborah
Deborah was a prophetess, a judge who was leading Israel. She told Barak that he would have victory over the Canaanites in battle. Judges 4:4-6
10. David - Abagail
