Judges 16:23-26
23Now the governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 assembledH622 to offerH2076 a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 to 1DagonH1712 their godH430, and to celebrateH8057, for they saidH559, “Our godH430 has handedH5414H3027 SamsonH8123 our enemyH340 overH5414 to us.” 24When the peopleH5971 sawH7200 him, 2they praisedH1984 their godH430, for they saidH559, “Our godH430 has handedH5414H3027 our enemyH340 overH5414 to us, Even the destroyerH2717 of our countryH776, WhoH834 has killedH2491 manyH7235 of us.” 25It so happenedH1961 when 3they were in highH2895 spiritsH3820, that they saidH559, “CallH7121 for SamsonH8123, that he may amuseH7832 us.” So they calledH7121 for SamsonH8123 from the prisonH1004H631, and he 4entertainedH6711H6440 them. And they made him standH5975 betweenH996 the pillarsH5982. 26Then SamsonH8123 saidH559 to the boyH5288 who was holdingH2388 his handH3027, “5LetH5117 me feelH4184 the pillarsH5982 on whichH834 the houseH1004 restsH3559, so that I may leanH8172 againstH5921 them.”
