Expanded Bible
24 When the people saw him, they praised their god, saying,
“This man ·destroyed [laid waste; ravaged] our country.
He ·killed many of us [L multiplied our dead]!
But our god handed over
our enemy to us.”
25 ·While the people were enjoying the celebration [When they were in high spirits; L When their heart was good], they said, “Bring Samson out to ·perform for [entertain; amuse] us.” So they brought Samson from the prison, and he ·performed for [entertained; amused] them. They made him stand between the pillars. 26 Samson said to the ·servant [youth; young man] holding his hand, “Let me feel the pillars that hold up the ·temple [house] so I can lean against them.”
