 SAMSON and the Uncircumcised Philistines--"And Samson said
unto the Lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the Pillars whereupon
the house standeth, that I may lean upon them."
"Now the house was full of men and women; and all the Lords of the
Philistines were there, and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women,
that beheld while Samson made sport. And Samson called upon the Lord and said, O
Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, Only this once, O
God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. And Samson
took hold of the two middle Pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was
borne up, of the one with his right, (the Genealogy,) and the other with his
left," (the Resurrection.) "And it came to pass when their hearts were merry
that they said, Call for Samson that he may make us Sport. And they called for
Samson out of the Prison-house; and he made them Sport; and they set him
between the Pillars." Judges 16:26-30.
