Judges 16:28-30

281Then Samson called to the Lord and said, “Lord 2God, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once 3take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes.”

29Then Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and braced himself against them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left.

30And Samson said, “Let 4me die with the Philistines!” And he pushed outwards powerfully, so that the house fell on the governors and all the people who were in it. And the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed during his lifetime.
