07:016:028 And Samson called unto the lord, and
said, O Lord God,
remember
me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only
this
once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the
Philistines
for my two eyes.
07:016:029 And Samson took hold of the two middle
pillars upon which the
house
stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with
his
right
hand, and of the other with his left.
07:016:030 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.
07:016:031 Then his brethren and all the house of
his father came down,
and
took him, and brought him up, and buried him between
Zorah
and
Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father.
And he
judged
Israel twenty years.
07:017:001 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
07:017:002 And he said unto his mother, The eleven
hundred shekels of
silver
that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst,
and
spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is
with
me;
I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou
of the
lord,
my son.
07:017:003 And when he had restored the eleven hundred
shekels of silver
to
his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated
the
silver
unto the lord from my hand for my son, to make
a graven
image
and a molten image: now therefore I will restore
it unto
thee.
07:017:004 Yet he restored the money unto his mother;
and his mother took
two
hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder,
who
made thereof a graven image and a molten image:
and they
were
in the house of Micah.
07:017:005 And the man Micah had an house of gods,
and made an ephod, and
teraphim,
and consecrated one of his sons, who became his
priest.
07:017:006 In those days there was no king in Israel,
but every man did
that
which was right in his own eyes.
07:017:007 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah
of the family
of
Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
07:017:008 And the man departed out of the city from
Bethlehemjudah to
sojourn
where he could find a place: and he came to mount
Ephraim
to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
07:017:009 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest
thou? And he said unto
him,
I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn
where
I may find a place.
