21
H6430
But the Philistines
H270
took
H5365
him, and put
H5869
out his eyes,
H3381
and brought
H3381
him down
H5804
to Gaza,
H631
and bound
H5178
him with fetters
H5178
of brass;
H2912
and he did grind
H631
in the prison
H1004
house.
22
H8181
However, the hair
H7218
of his head
H2490
began
H6779
to grow
H834
again after
H1548
he was shaven.
23
H5633
Then the lords
H6430
of the Philistines
H6908
gathered
H2076
them together for to offer
H1419
a great
H2077
sacrifice
H1712
to Dagon
H430
their god,
H8057
and to rejoice:
H559
for they said,
H430
Our god
H5414
has delivered
H8123
Samson
H341
our enemy
H3027
into our hand.
24
H5971
And when the people
H7200
saw
H1984
him, they praised
H430
their god:
H559
for they said,
H430
Our god
H5414
has delivered
H3027
into our hands
H341
our enemy,
H2717
and the destroyer
H776
of our country,
H834
which
H2491
slew
H7235
many of us.
25
H1961
And it came
H3588
to pass, when
H3820
their hearts
H2896
were merry,
H559
that they said,
H7121
Call
H8123
for Samson,
H7832
that he may make us sport.
H7121
And they called
H8123
for Samson
H631
out of the prison
H1004
house;
H6711
and he made them sport:
H5975
and they set
H996
him between
H5982
the pillars.
26
H8123
And Samson
H559
said
H5288
to the lad
H2388
that held
H3027
him by the hand,
H3240
Suffer
H4184
me that I may feel
H5982
the pillars
H834
whereupon
H5921
H1004
the house
H3559
stands,
H8172
that I may lean on them.
27
H1004
Now the house
H4390
was full
H582
of men
H802
and women;
H3605
and all
H5633
the lords
H6430
of the Philistines
H8033
were there;
H1406
and there were on the roof
H7969
about three
H505
thousand
H376
men
H802
and women,
H7200
that beheld
H8123
while Samson
H7832
made sport.
28
H8123
And Samson
H7121
called
H3068
to the LORD,
H559
and said,
H136
O Lord
H3069
God,
H2142
remember
H4994
me, I pray
H2388
you, and strengthen
H4994
me, I pray
H389
you, only
H2088
this
H6471
once,
H430
O God,
H5358
that I may be at once avenged
H6430
of the Philistines
H8147
for my two
H5869
eyes.
29
H8123
And Samson
H3943
took hold
H8147
of the two
H8432
middle
H5982
pillars
H834
on which
H1004
the house
H3559
stood,
H5921
and on
H5564
which it was borne
H259
up, of the one
H3225
with his right
H3225
hand,
H259
and of the other
H8040
with his left.
30
H8123
And Samson
H559
said,
H4191
Let me die
H6430
with the Philistines.
H5186
And he bowed
H3581
himself with all his might;
H1004
and the house
H5307
fell
H5633
on the lords,
H3605
and on all
H5971
the people
H4191
that were therein. So the dead
H834
which
H4191
he slew
H4194
at his death
H7227
were more
H834
than they which
H4191
he slew
H2416
in his life.
31
H251
Then his brothers
H3605
and all
H1004
the house
H1
of his father
H3381
came
H3381
down,
H5375
and took
H5927
him, and brought
H6912
him up, and buried
H996
him between
H6881
Zorah
H847
and Eshtaol
H6913
in the burial plot
H4495
of Manoah
H1
his father.
H8199
And he judged
H3478
Israel
H6242
twenty
H8141
years.
