Judges 16:25-30

Judges 16:25-30

[25] 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  house;  and he made them  sport:  and they set  him between the pillars.  [26] And Samson  said  unto the lad  that held  him by the hand,  Suffer  the pillars  whereupon the house  standeth,  that I may lean  upon them. [27] 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.  [28] 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,  O God,  that I may be at once  avenged  of the Philistines  for my two  eyes.  [29] 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.  [30] 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  at his death  were more  than they which he slew  in his life.
