Samson is the figure celebrated for supernatural strength given by the Spirit of the Lord. In his most famous moment, he brings down a Philistine temple by pulling apart its pillars, causing the structure to collapse and many inside to die. That act shows demolishing a large, significant building and demonstrates the extraordinary power he had when empowered. Goliath is known as a giant warrior defeated by David, Delilah is the woman who lulled him into weakness, and Absalom is David’s son who led a rebellion; none of them are described as the strongest man who destroys a palace-like structure. So Samson best fits the description.
