Judges 16:24-26

Lexham English Bible

²⁴ And the people saw him, and they praised their god, for they said, “Our god has given into our hand those who hate us, devastate our land, and have killed many of us.”^{[a] 25} After awhile, when their hearts^[b] were merry, they said, “Call Samson and let him entertain us.” And they called Samson from the prison,^[c] and he entertained them.^[d] And they made him stand between the pillars. ²⁶ Then Samson said to the servant who was holding him by his hand, “Position me so that I can touch the pillars on which the house^[e] rests, so I can lean on them.”
