THE DEATH OF SHIMSHON
Then the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy gather together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their elohim and to cheer: for they say, Our elohim gives Shimshon our enemy into our hand. 24 And when the people see him, they halal their elohim: for they say, Into our hands our elohim delivers our enemy and the parcher of our land, who abounded our pierced. 25 And so be it, when their hearts are goodly, they say, Call for Shimshon to entertain us. - and they call for Shimshon from the house of binding; and he entertains them: and they stand him between the pillars. 26 And Shimshon says to the lad holding him by the hand, Allow me to touch the pillars whereupon the house is established - to lean on them. 27 And the house is full of men and women; and all the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy are there - and on the roof about three thousand men and women see while Shimshon entertains. 28 And Shimshon calls to Yah Veh, and says, O Adonay Yah Veh, remember me, I beseech you; strengthen me, I beseech you, only, this one time, O Elohim, to avenge the avengement of the Peleshethiy for my two eyes. 29 And Shimshon clasps the two middle pillars whereon the house is established and whereon it is propped - the one with his right and the one with his left. 30 And Shimshon says, O that my soul die with the Peleshethiy. - and he spreads himself with force; and the house falls on the ringleaders and on all the people therein. So the dead he deathified at his death are greater than those he deathified in his life.
