But the Philistinesh6430 tookh270h8799 him, and put outh5365h8762 his eyesh5869, and brought him downh3381h8686 to Gazah5804, and boundh631h8799 him with fetters of brassh5178; and he did grindh2912h8802 in the prisonh631h8803 househ1004. put out: Heb. bored out

24

And when the peopleh5971 sawh7200h8799 him, they praisedh1984h8762 their godh430: for they saidh559h8804, Our godh430 hath deliveredh5414h8804 into our handsh3027 our enemyh341h8802, and the destroyerh2717h8688 of our countryh776, which slewh2491 manyh7235h8689 of us. which...: Heb. and who multiplied our slain

And Samsonh8123 saidh559h8799 unto the ladh5288 that heldh2388h8688 him by the handh3027, Sufferh3240h8685 me that I may feelh4184h8685h8675h3237h8685 the pillarsh5982 whereupon the househ1004 standethh3559h8737, that I may leanh8172h8735 upon them.

27

Now the househ1004 was fullh4390h8804 of menh582 and womenh802; and all the lordsh5633 of the Philistinesh6430 were there; and there were upon the roofh1406 about threeh7969 thousandh505 menh376 and womenh802, that beheldh7200h8802 while Samsonh8123 made sporth7832h8800.

28

And Samsonh8123 calledh7121h8799 unto the LORDh3068, and saidh559h8799, O Lordh136 GODh3069, rememberh2142h8798 me, I pray thee, and strengthenh2388h8761 me, I pray thee, only this onceh6471, O Godh430, that I may be at onceh259 avengedh5358h8735h5359 of the Philistinesh6430 for my twoh8147 eyesh5869.

29

And Samsonh8123 took holdh3943h8799 of the twoh8147 middleh8432 pillarsh5982 upon which the househ1004 stoodh3559h8737, and on which it was borne uph5564h8735, of the oneh259 with his right handh3225, and of the otherh259 with his lefth8040. on which...: or, he leaned on them

30

And Samsonh8123 saidh559h8799, Let me dieh4191h8799h5315 with the Philistinesh6430. And he bowedh5186h8799 himself with all his mighth3581; and the househ1004 fellh5307h8799 upon the lordsh5633, and upon all the peopleh5971 that were therein. So the deadh4191h8801 which he slewh4191h8689 at his deathh4194 were moreh7227 than they which he slewh4191h8689 in his lifeh2416. me: Heb. my soul

Then his brethrenh251 and all the househ1004 of his fatherh1 came downh3381h8799, and tookh5375h8799 him, and brought him uph5927h8799, and buriedh6912h8799 him between Zorahh6881 and Eshtaolh847 in the buryingplaceh6913 of Manoahh4495 his fatherh1.
