Then the lords
H6430
of the Philistines
H622 [H8738]
gathered them together
H2076 [H8800]
to offer
H1419
a great
H2077
sacrifice
H1712
to Dagon
H430
their god
H8057
, and to rejoice
H559 [H8799]
: for they said
H430
, Our god
H5414 [H8804]
hath delivered
H8123
Samson
H341 [H8802]
our enemy
H3027
into our hand.
24
H5971
And when the people
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H1984 [H8762]
him, they praised
H430
their god
H559 [H8804]
: for they said
H430
, Our god
H5414 [H8804]
hath delivered
H3027
into our hands
H341 [H8802]
our enemy
H2717 [H8688]
, and the destroyer
H776
of our country
H2491
, who slew
H7235 [H8689]
many of us.
25
H3820
And it came to pass, when their hearts
H2896
were merry
H559 [H8799]
, that they said
H7121 [H8798]
, Call
H8123
for Samson
H7832 [H8762]
, that he may make us sport
H7121 [H8799]
. And they called
H8123
for Samson
H631 [H8803]
out of the prison
H1004
house
H6440
; and he made them
H6711 [H8762]
sport
H5975 [H8686]
: and they set
H5982
him between the pillars.
26
H8123
And Samson
H559 [H8799]
said
H5288
to the lad
H2388 [H8688]
that held
H3027
him by the hand
H3240 [H8685]
, Permit
H4184 H3237 [H8685]
me to feel
H5982
the pillars
H1004
upon which the house
H3559 [H8737]
standeth
H8172 [H8735]
, that I may lean upon them.
27
H1004
Now the house
H4390 [H8804]
was full
H582
of men
H802
and women
H5633
; and all the lords
H6430
of the Philistines
H1406
were there; and there were upon the roof
H7969
about three
H505
thousand
H376
men
H802
and women
H7200 [H8802]
, that beheld
H8123
while Samson
H7832 [H8800]
made sport.
28
H8123
And Samson
H7121 [H8799]
called
H3068
to the LORD
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H136
, O Lord
H3069
GOD
H2142 [H8798]
, remember
H2388 [H8761]
me, I pray thee, and strengthen
H6471
me, I pray thee, only this once
H430
, O God
H259
, that I may be at once
H5358 H5359 [H8735]
avenged
H6430
of the Philistines
H8147
for my two
H5869
eyes.
29
H8123
And Samson
H3943 [H8799]
took hold
H8147
of the two
H8432
middle
H5982
pillars
H1004
upon which the house
H3559 [H8737]
stood
H5564 [H8735]
, and on which it rested
H259
, of the one
H3225
with his right hand
H259
, and of the other
H8040
with his left.
30
H8123
And Samson
H559 [H8799]
said
H4191 H5315 [H8799]
, Let me die
H6430
with the Philistines
H5186 [H8799]
. And he bowed
H3581
himself with all his might
H1004
; and the house
H5307 [H8799]
fell
H5633
upon the lords
H5971
, and upon all the people
H4191 [H8801]
that were in it. So the dead
H4191 [H8689]
which he slew
H4194
at his death
H7227
were more
H4191 [H8689]
than they which he slew
H2416
in his life.
