Judges 16:23 in Context — Judges 16

21 Mas os filisteus lançaram mão dele, e tiraram-lhe os olhos, e o levaram a Gaza; e o ataram com correntes, para que moesse no cárcere.

22 E o cabelo de sua cabeça começou a crescer, depois que foi rapado.

23 Então os príncipes dos filisteus se juntaram para oferecer sacrifício a Dagom seu deus, e para alegrar-se; e disseram: Nosso deus entregou em nossas mãos a Sansão nosso inimigo.

24 E vendo-o o povo, louvaram a seu deus, dizendo: Nosso deus entregou em nossas mãos a nosso inimigo, e ao destruidor de nossa terra, o qual havia matado a muitos de nós.

25 E aconteceu que, indo-se alegrando o coração deles, disseram: Chamai a Sansão, para que divirta diante de nós. E chamaram a Sansão do cárcere, e fazia de joguete diante deles; e puseram-no entre as colunas.
