Pillar Bases of a Philistine Temple Discovered Near Tel Aviv
The Philistines blinded and humiliated Samson and brought him to the Temple of their god Dagon to sport with him in front of the leaders and a great crowd of Philistines.
Judges 16:25-30
As their spirits rose, they said, ‘Call Samson here and let him dance for us.’ Samson was fetched from the prison, and he danced for them. Then they put him between the pillars
…Samson called to the LORD, "O Lord GOD! Please remember me, and give me strength just this once…"
He embraced the two middle pillars that the temple rested upon, one with his right arm and one with his left, and leaned against them; Samson cried, "Let me die with the Philistines!" and he pulled with all his might. The temple came crashing down … those who were slain by him as he died outnumbered those whom he slew when he lived.
