@Judges:16:23 @ And the lords of the Philistines gathered themselves together to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice; and they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand Samson our enemy.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:16:24 @ And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, and him who hath slain so many of us.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:16:25 @ And it came to pass, when their heart was merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make sport for us. And they called for Samson out of the prisonhouse; and he made sport before them; and they placed him between the pillars.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:16:26 @ And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me and let me feel the pillars whereupon the house is supported, that I may lean upon them.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:16:27 @ Now the house was full of men and women; and there were all the lords of the Philistines; and upon the roof were about three thousand men and women, that looked on while Samson made sport.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:16:28 @ And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord Eternal, remember me, I pray thee, and do thou strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged for one of my two eyes on the Philistines.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:16:29 @ And Samson threw his arms around the two middle pillars upon which the house was supported, and he leaned on them, one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:16:30 @ And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bent with might, and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:16:31 @ Then came down his brothers and all the house of his father, and they took him up, and carried him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the buryingplace of Manoach his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
