Judges 16:26-30

Judges 16:26-30 NCV

Samson said to the servant holding his hand, “Let me feel the pillars that hold up the temple so I can lean against them.” Now the temple was full of men and women. All the Philistine rulers were there, and about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching Samson perform. Then Samson prayed to the LORD, “Lord GOD, remember me. God, please give me strength one more time so I can pay these Philistines back for putting out my two eyes!” Then Samson turned to the two center pillars that supported the whole temple. He braced himself between the two pillars, with his right hand on one and his left hand on the other. Samson said, “Let me die with these Philistines!” Then he pushed as hard as he could, causing the temple to fall on the rulers and all the people in it. So Samson killed more of the Philistines when he died than when he was alive.
