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.

Verse 30 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. Samson asks the young man guiding him to place his hands on the central pillars and prays for God to give him strength one last time. He brings down the temple and dies along with many Philistines. The final statement says that he killed more at his death than during his life. The episode concludes his story by showing simultaneously judgment against the oppressors, the final recovery of his mission, and the enormous personal cost of a life marked by destructive choices.
