Good News Translation

^24-25 They were enjoying themselves, and so they said, “Call Samson, and let's make him entertain us!”^[a] When they brought Samson out of the prison, they made him entertain them^[b] and made him stand between the columns. When the people saw him, they sang praise to their god: “Our god has given us victory over our enemy, who devastated our land and killed so many of us!” ²⁶ Samson said to the boy who was leading him by the hand, “Let me touch the columns that hold up the building. I want to lean on them.”
