King James Version
Judges 16:26-31
26And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto the ladH5288 that heldH2388 him by the handH3027, SufferH3240 me that I may feelH3237H4184 the pillarsH5982 whereupon the houseH1004 standethH3559, that I may leanH8172 upon them.
27Now the houseH1004 was fullH4390 of menH582 and womenH802; and all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 were there; and there were upon the roofH1406 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802, that beheldH7200 while SamsonH8123 made sportH7832.
28And SamsonH8123 calledH7121 unto the LordH3068, and saidH559, O LordH136 GodH3069, rememberH2142 me, I pray thee, and strengthenH2388 me, I pray thee, only this onceH6471, O GodH430, that I may be at onceH259 avengedH5359H5358 of the PhilistinesH6430 for my twoH8147 eyesH5869.
29And SamsonH8123 took holdH3943 of the twoH8147 middleH8432 pillarsH5982 upon which the houseH1004 stoodH3559, and on which it was borne upH5564, of the oneH259 with his right handH3225, and of the otherH259 with his leftH8040.1
30And SamsonH8123 saidH559, Let me dieH5315H4191 with the PhilistinesH6430. And he bowedH5186 himself with all his mightH3581; and the houseH1004 fellH5307 upon the lordsH5633, and upon all the peopleH5971 that were therein. So the deadH4191 which he slewH4191 at his deathH4194 were moreH7227 than they which he slewH4191 in his lifeH2416.2
31Then his brethrenH251 and all the houseH1004 of his fatherH1 came downH3381, and tookH5375 him, and brought him upH5927, and buriedH6912 him between ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847 in the buryingplaceH6913 of ManoahH4495 his fatherH1. And he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 twentyH6242 yearsH8141.
