What was the relationship between Samson and Jesus?

The Letter to the Hebrews names Samson among those who lived by faith. Then it invites us to run the race with our eyes fixed on Jesus. Hebrews 11:32; Hebrews 12:1-2

What the Bible says

Hebrews 11:32

And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets:

Hebrews 12:2

Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God.
