*
But the Philistines took him ,
and put out his eyes ,
and brought him down to Gaza ,
and bound him with fetters of brass ;
and he did grind in the prison house .
*
Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven .
*
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god ,
and to rejoice :
for they said ,
Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand .
*
And when the people saw him ,
they praised their god :
for they said ,
Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy ,
and the destroyer of our country ,
which slew many of us .
*
And it came to pass ,
when their hearts were merry ,
that they said ,
Call for Samson ,
that he may make us sport .
And they called for Samson out of the prison house ;
and he made them sport :
and they set him between the pillars .
*
And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand ,
Suffer me that I may feel (
8675 )
the pillars whereupon the house standeth ,
that I may lean upon them .
*
Now the house was full of men and women ;
and all the lords of the Philistines were there ;
and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women ,
that beheld while Samson made sport .
*
And Samson called unto the LORD ,
and said ,
O Lord GOD ,
remember me ,
I pray thee ,
and strengthen me ,
I pray thee ,
only this once pa #
am #,
O God ,
that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes .
*
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood ,
and on which it was borne up ,
of the one with his right hand ,
and of the other with his left s @

*
And Samson said ,
Let me die with the Philistines .
And he bowed himself with all his might ;
and the house fell upon the lords ,
and upon all the people that were therein .
So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life .
