Judges 16:24-26
International Children’s Bible
24 When they saw him, they praised their god. They said,
“This man destroyed our country.
He killed many of us!
But our god helped us
capture our enemy.”
25 The people were having a good time at the celebration. They said, “Bring Samson out to perform for us.” So they brought Samson from the prison. He performed for them. They made him stand between the pillars of the temple of Dagon. 26 A servant was holding his hand. Samson said to him, “Let me feel the pillars that hold up the temple. I want to lean against them.”

Judges 16:24-26
New International Version
24 When the people saw him, they praised their god,(A) saying,
“Our god has delivered our enemy
into our hands,(B)
the one who laid waste our land
and multiplied our slain.”
25 While they were in high spirits,(C) they shouted, “Bring out Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he performed for them.
When they stood him among the pillars, 26 Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them.”
