updv@Judges:16:23 @ And the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.

updv@Judges:16:24 @ And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god has delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us.

updv@Judges:16:25 @ And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may entertain us. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he entertained them. And they set him between the pillars:

updv@Judges:16:26 @ and Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Allow me that I may feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them.

updv@Judges:16:27 @ Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were on the roof about three thousand men and women, watching Samson amuse [them].

updv@Judges:16:28 @ And Samson called to Yahweh, and said, O Sovereign Yahweh, remember me, I pray you, and strengthen me, I pray you, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

updv@Judges:16:29 @ And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and leaned on them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.

updv@Judges:16:30 @ And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than those who he slew in his life.

updv@Judges:16:31 @ Then his brothers and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
