Death of Sanson


source

The leaders of the Philistines gathered to celebrate and offer a great sacrifice to Dagon, their god, saying:

Our god has handed over our hands to Sanson, our enemy.

When the people saw it, they all praised their god saying:

Our God has delivered our enemy into our hands, who has ravaged our land and multiplied our victims

When they were already very happy, they shouted: Get Sanson to have fun. So they took Sanson out of jail, and he served them as fun.

When they put him standing between the columns, Sanson said to the boy who was holding him by the hand: Put me where I can touch the columns that support the temple, so that I can lean on them.
At that time the temple was full of men and women, all the leaders of the Philistines were there, and in the upper part there were about three thousand men and women who diverge at the expense of Sanson

Then Sanson prayed to the Lord: O sovereign Lord, remember me, O God, I pray you to strengthen me only once more, and let me once and for all take revenge on the Philistines for having taken my eyes out.
Then Sanson touched the two central columns that supported the temple and leaned against them, the right hand on one and the left on the other.

And I shouted: I died together with the Philistines, then I pushed with all their strength, and the temple fell down on the chiefs and on all the people who were there. There were many more who Sanson killed when he died than those who had killed while he lived. .

His brothers and all his father's family came down to pick him up. They took him back and buried him between Zora and Estaol, in the tomb of his father Manoa. Sanson had ruled Israel for 20 years.
