Judges 16:23-30

Then the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
gathered them together
<0622> (8738)
for to offer
<02076> (8800)
a great
<01419>
sacrifice
<02077>
unto Dagon
<01712>
their god
<0430>_,
and to rejoice
<08057>_:
for they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Our god
<0430>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
Samson
<08123>
our enemy
<0341> (8802)
into our hand
<03027>_.
And when the people
<05971>
saw
<07200> (8799)
him, they praised
<01984> (8762)
their god
<0430>_:
for they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Our god
<0430>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
into our hands
<03027>
our enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
and the destroyer
<02717> (8688)
of our country
<0776>_,
which slew
<02491>
many
<07235> (8689)
of us. {which...: Heb. and who multiplied our slain}
And it came to pass, when their hearts
<03820>
were merry
<02896>_,
that they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Call
<07121> (8798)
for Samson
<08123>_,
that he may make us sport
<07832> (8762)_.
And they called
<07121> (8799)
for Samson
<08123>
out of the prison
<0631> (8803)
house
<01004>_;
and he made them
<06440>
sport
<06711> (8762)_:
and they set
<05975> (8686)
him between the pillars
<05982>_.
{them: Heb. before them}
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the lad
<05288>
that held
<02388> (8688)
him by the hand
<03027>_,
Suffer
<03240> (8685)
me that I may feel
<04184> (8685) (8675) <03237> (8685)
the pillars
<05982>
whereupon the house
<01004>
standeth
<03559> (8737)_,
that I may lean
<08172> (8735)
upon them.
Now the house
<01004>
was full
<04390> (8804)
of men
<0582>
and women
<0802>_;
and all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
[were] there; and [there were] upon the roof
<01406>
about three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
and women
<0802>_,
that beheld
<07200> (8802)
while Samson
<08123>
made sport
<07832> (8800)_.
And Samson
<08123>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
remember
<02142> (8798)
me, I pray thee, and strengthen
<02388> (8761)
me, I pray thee, only this once
<06471>_,
O God
<0430>_,
that I may be at once
<0259>
avenged
<05358> (8735) <05359>
of the Philistines
<06430>
for my two
<08147>
eyes
<05869>_.
And Samson
<08123>
took hold
<03943> (8799)
of the two
<08147>
middle
<08432>
pillars
<05982>
upon which the house
<01004>
stood
<03559> (8737)_,
and on which it was borne up
<05564> (8735)_,
of the one
<0259>
with his right hand
<03225>_,
and of the other
<0259>
with his left
<08040>_.
{on which...: or, he leaned on them}
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me die
<04191> (8799) <05315>
with the Philistines
<06430>_.
And he bowed
<05186> (8799)
himself with [all his] might
<03581>_;
and the house
<01004>
fell
<05307> (8799)
upon the lords
<05633>_,
and upon all the people
<05971>
that [were] therein. So the dead
<04191> (8801)
which he slew
<04191> (8689)
at his death
<04194>
were more
<07227>
than [they] which he slew
<04191> (8689)
in his life
<02416>_.
{me: Heb. my soul}
