The Gate of Gaza is the massive door the legendary Israelite hero Samson hefted thirty-eight miles to the outskirts of Hebron. To commemorate this legendary feat, the people of Hebron hold the annual Gaza Gate festival, part of which includes a contest to see which participant can carry his gate the longest. Needing money to purchase food, Branan enters the contest.
Unfortunately, by the time he signs up to participate, there are no small gates left over for him to carry. Instead, Branan decides to bear the significantly larger Gate of Gaza itself in the competition. As Branan manages to outlast all the other competitors, he ends up the victor at the end of the contest.
Unfortunately, one of Sidon's spies witnesses Branan's win and reports Branan's presence in Hebron to the Philistine commander, leading Sidon to ride over to Hebron and torch the city to smoke Branan out.
