and Samson saith, `Let me die with the Philistines,' and he inclineth himself powerfully, and the house falleth on the princes, and on all the people who <FI>are<Fi> in it, and the dead whom he hath put to death in his death are more than those whom he put to death in his life.
Judges 16:28 And Samson calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, `Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray Thee, and strengthen me, I pray Thee, only this time, O God; and I am avenged--vengeance at once--because of my two eyes, on the Philistines.'
Judges 16:29 And Samson turneth aside <FI>to<Fi> the two middle pillars, on which the house is established, and on which it is supported, <FI>to<Fi> the one with his right hand, and one with his left;
Judges 16:30 and Samson saith, `Let me die with the Philistines,' and he inclineth himself powerfully, and the house falleth on the princes, and on all the people who <FI>are<Fi> in it, and the dead whom he hath put to death in his death are more than those whom he put to death in his life.
Judges 16:31 And his brethren come down, and all the house of his father, and lift him up, and bring him up, and bury him between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying-place of Manoah his father; and he hath judged Israel twenty years.
The verse centers on "samson", "saith", "philistines", "inclineth", "himself", "powerfully", "house", and "falleth". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "samson" and "saith", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 29's "And Samson turneth aside FI to Fi..." into verse 31's "And his brethren come down and all...", so "samson" and "saith" belong inside that flow. In Judges context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "samson" and "saith" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
