Vers. 26. Then Samson said to the servant that led him by the hand; Lead me that I may touch the pillars that the house standeth upon, and that I may leave to them. 27. Now the house was full of men and women, and there were all the Princes of the Philistines: also about the roof were three thousand men, and women that beheld while Samson played. 28. Then samson called unto the Lord, and said; O Lord God, I pray thee think upon me: O God, I beseech thee strengthen me at this time only, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. 29. And Samson laid hold on the two middle pillars whereupon the house stood, and on which it was borne up: on the one with his right, and on the other with his left. 30. Then said Samson, Let me lose my life with the Philistines: and he bowed him with all his might, and the house fell upon the Princes, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death, were moe then they which he had slain in his life. 31. Then his brethren, 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 sepulchre of Manoah his father: now he had judged Israel twenty years.
