Judges 16:23-25

Lexham English Bible

²³ The rulers of the Philistines had gathered to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god and to rejoice. And they said, “Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand.” 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.
