30And 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.

Commentary
Judges 16 is a chapter in the Old Testament of the Bible that tells the story of Samson, a man of great strength who was chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from the Philistines. In this chapter, Samson is tricked by Delilah, a Philistine woman, into revealing the secret of his strength. After Samson reveals the secret, Delilah calls for the Philistines to capture him. Despite his weakened state, Samson is able to use his remaining strength to bring down the temple of the Philistines, killing himself and many of the Philistines in the process.
