Line 17:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Tent pegs!
* [[More Deadly Than the Male]]: Tricks Sisera into trusting her, lulls him to sleep with warm milk, and then brutally drives a tent stake through his temples.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Is it Jael or Yael<ref>They are alternate transliterations and are pronounced the same</ref>?

Line 46:
{{quote| ''"From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: For I will do you evils.''}}
* [[Achilles Heel]]: His hair.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type V]]
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Israeli]] to be more specific. He is ''the'' strongman of Jewish myth.
** [[Badass Long Hair]]: In fact he needed his hair to be strong.
* [[Bond One -Liner]]: Upon killing one thousand men with a Donkey's jawbone, he made a pun on the fact that "donkey" and "heap" are homophones in Hebrew. Methods of translating this wordplay vary.
* [[Cherry Tapping]]: 1,000 kill count.....with a jawbone of an donkey.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: And God helps him.
Line 59:
** See [[Love Makes You Dumb]].
** And his drunkenness, which he God told him to avoid, gave Delilah the chance to cut his hair.
* [[Good Flaws, Bad Flaws]]: Despite his faults, the letter to the Hebrews still cite him a great hero for his faith in God, largely due to how he repents.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: He is blinded by his enemies after being depowered, but he later kills them all for it.
* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: Gave this treatment to a random lion.
Line 70:
* [[Messianic Archetype]]: The subversion of the type. His birth is announced by an angel and raised a Nazirite (puritan Hebrew) yet broke its traditions simply because he was the [[Chosen One]], his battles are more like the antics of a super powered college prankster and his motivation to finally beat the Philistines was personal revenge.
* [[Nineties Anti Hero]]: Well, he sure wasn't [[The Cape]].
* [[One -Man Army]]
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Kinda. He did smash the two pillars of the Philistine temple, killing over 3000.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]
Line 91:
* [[Chosen One]]: God picked them personally.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Shamgar's weapon was an ox goad.
* [[Pre -Mortem One -Liner]]: Ehud. "I have a message from God for you".
