Judges 16:27 in Context — Judges 16

25 Dans la joie de leur cœur, ils dirent: Qu’on appelle Samson, et qu’il nous divertisse! Ils firent sortir Samson de la prison, et il joua devant eux. Ils le placèrent entre les colonnes.

26 Et Samson dit au jeune homme qui le tenait par la main: Laisse-moi, afin que je puisse toucher les colonnes sur lesquelles repose la maison et m’appuyer contre elles.

27 La maison était remplie d’hommes et de femmes; tous les princes des Philistins étaient là, et il y avait sur le toit environ trois mille personnes, hommes et femmes, qui regardaient Samson jouer.

28 Alors Samson invoqua l’Éternel, et dit: Seigneur Éternel! Souviens-toi de moi, je te prie; ô Dieu! Donne-moi de la force seulement cette fois, et que d’un seul coup je tire vengeance des Philistins pour mes deux yeux!

29 Et Samson embrassa les deux colonnes du milieu sur lesquelles reposait la maison, et il s’appuya contre elles; l’une était à sa droite, et l’autre à sa gauche.
