Commentary on Judges 16:25

Theological / Devotional

Call for Samson. That is, bring him from his prison into the assembly room forming part of the temple where the whole assembly could see him at once.

May make us sport. This does not necessarily mean that he would act like a buffoon, but that the appearance of their mighty enemy, now blind and in chains, would induce laughter and jeering.
