Judges 16:27-29

Contemporary English Version

²⁷ The Philistine rulers were celebrating in a temple packed with people and with 3,000^[a] more on the flat roof. They had all been watching Samson and making fun of him.^[b]

²⁸ Samson prayed, “Please remember me, Lord God. The Philistines poked out my eyes, but make me strong one last time, so I can take revenge for at least one of my eyes!”^[c]

²⁹ Samson was standing between the two middle columns that held up the roof. He felt around and found one column with his right hand, and the other with his left hand.
