Now it followeth in the end of this third part of the Chapter, to consider 1the issue of this their dealing with Samson, and that is, the destruction of many of the Philistines, brought upon them by his means: he himself 2losing his life with them. But before he did it, he took his best opportunity to bring it to pass. For he being set betwixt the pillars, as was said in the former verse, he asketh of the servant that led him, to set him so, as he might feel them with his shoulders; which he spake, as though he would have eased and rested himself, being wearied with grinding in the prison, and by bearing his chains and bolts: but intending indeed to seek the best opportunity to cast down the house upon the Philistines.
