Judges 16:23-30

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.” 27Now the houseH1004 was fullH4390 of menH376 and womenH802, and allH3605 the governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 were thereH8033. And about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802 were on the roofH1406 lookingH7200 on while SamsonH8123 was entertainingH7832 them.

286Then SamsonH8123 calledH7121 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “LordH136 7GodH3068, pleaseH4994 rememberH2142 me and pleaseH4994 strengthenH2388 me justH389 thisH2088 timeH6471, O GodH430, that I may at onceH259 8take vengeanceH5358 on the PhilistinesH6430 for my twoH8147 eyesH5869.” 29Then SamsonH8123 graspedH3943 the twoH8147 middleH8432 pillarsH5982 on whichH834 the houseH1004 restedH3559, and bracedH5564 himself againstH5921 them, the oneH259 with his rightH3225 handH3225 and the otherH259 with his leftH8040. 30And SamsonH8123 saidH559, “Let 9me dieH4191 with the PhilistinesH6430!” And he pushedH5186 outwardsH5186 powerfullyH3581, so that the houseH1004 fellH5307 on the governorsH5633 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were in it. And the deadH4191 whomH834 he killedH4191 at his deathH4194 were moreH7227 thanH4480 those whomH834 he killedH4191 during his lifetimeH2425.
