Verse 24 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. The Philistines blind Samson, bind him, and put him to work in prison. Meanwhile, his hair begins to grow again. At the temple of Dagon, the Philistines celebrate and attribute their victory to their god. Samson’s humiliation is used to glorify Dagon, preparing a final confrontation that will once again raise the question of who truly possesses power.

Desgleichen, als ihn das Volk sah, lobten sie ihren Gott; denn sie sprachen: Unser Gott hat uns unsern Feind in unsre Hände gegeben, der unser Land verderbte und unsrer viele erschlug.
Y viéndolo el pueblo, loaron a su dios, diciendo: Nuestro dios entregó en nuestras manos a nuestro enemigo, y al destruidor de nuestra tierra, el cual había muerto a muchos de nosotros.
Al verlo, el pueblo alababa a su dios, diciendo: «Nuestro dios ha entregado en nuestras manos a nuestro enemigo, al que devastaba nuestra tierra y multiplicaba nuestros muertos».
Et quand le peuple le vit, ils célébrèrent leur dieu, en disant: Notre dieu a livré entre nos mains notre ennemi, celui qui ravageait notre pays, et qui multipliait nos morts.
Il popolo anch’esso, avendolo veduto, avea lodato il suo dio; perciocchè dicevano: Il nostro dio ci ha dato nelle mani il nostro nemico, e il distruggitore del nostro paese, il quale ha uccisi tanti di noi.
Semelhantemente, vendo-o o povo, louvava ao seu deus; porque dizia: Nosso deus nos entregou nas mãos o nosso inimigo, e ao que destruía a nossa terra, e ao que multiplicava os nossos mortos.
