Let Me Die With Them
His last act, and his strongest.
“And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.”
Judges 16:30 · King James Version, quoted verbatim
The Scene
They brought him out to entertain them — shaved, blinded, chained between the columns of Dagon's house with three thousand watching from the roof. He asked the boy leading him to set him where he could feel the pillars.
It is the last line Samson speaks in scripture, and it is as much a prayer as a vow. The strength came back for exactly one act. It was enough.
