The lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
"And he made sport before them"  (Judges 16:25).  It has been supposed that Samson did this by performing unusual demonstrations of physical strength, but, as Jehovah had not yet come upon Samson, we are inclined to doubt that explanation.  God would indeed use Samson again on that occasion, but it would come after Samson returned in his heart to the Lord and began to pray.  Evidently, some kind of physical activity was involved in his entertaining the throng, inasmuch as he PRETENDED to be tired.  His desire to rest upon the pillars was honored by the lad that led him.
