Judges 16:28
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. 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.
The verse belongs to the story of Samson, whose extraordinary strength depended on his Nazarite condition, symbolized by his uncut hair. His association with the Philistines and disobedience to God darkened his life and marred the destiny he could have fulfilled in his divine mission. The verse stands at the end of his path of shame, disaster, and death after he gave free rein to passion instead of relying on God's strength and obeying God's laws. He prays as the Philistines celebrate their god Dagon's supposed victory and mock him inside the temple.
At that moment the conflict has become a public contest between Jehovah and Dagon. In the verse he asks God to remember him and restore his strength just once more, so he may avenge the loss of his two eyes on the Philistines. He offers this prayer while resting against the temple's central pillars. Strengthened by God in answer, he brings down the temple roof, killing himself together with the assembled Philistines. In that final act he kills more Philistines than he had killed during his entire life.
