Samson takes hold of the two middle pillars and bows himself, and the house falls

삼손이 두 가운데 기둥을 껴 의지하고 몸을 굽히매 집이 무너짐

Judges 16:26–30: Samson says to the boy who holds him by the hand, “Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them.” Now the house is full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines are there; and there are on the roof about three thousand men and women, who saw while Samson performed. Samson calls to the LORD, and says, “Lord GOD, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.” Samson takes hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rests and leans on them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left. Samson says, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He bows himself with all his might; and the house falls on the lords, and on all the people who are in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.
