Then Samson said to the boy who was holding his hand, “let me feel the pillars on which the house rests that I may lean against them.”(Judges16 verse26) This scene is in the house of the Philistine Lords in the land of Gazi. - Samson’s scriptural epitaph is written in the Old Testament Book of Judges…"so the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life” (Judges 17:30). Samson was a powerful force against the Philistines (Israel’s chief enemy) & accustomed to doing his own thing. His wife Delilah helped his enemies as an informant & later, as a barber (loss of hair & strength).
