God’s Word Translation
Judges 16:21-25
21The Philistines grabbed him. They poked out his eyes and took him to the prison in Gaza. They tied him up with double chains and made him grind grain in the mill there.
22But his hair started to grow back as soon as it was shaved off.
23Now, the Philistine rulers gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon and to celebrate. They said, “Our god handed Samson, our enemy, over to us.”
24When the people saw him, they praised their god. They said, “Our god gave our enemy, destroyer of our land and killer of so many, into our very hand!”
25When all the Philistines were enjoying themselves, they said, “Call Samson in to entertain us.” Samson was called from the prison, and he made them laugh. They made him stand between two columns.
