Then the Philistines took Samson, for he could no longer fight against them,and they bound him with chains made of brass. And they put out his eyes,and shut him up in prison: there they made him work very hard, in turning amill-stone to grind their corn. And now, while he was shut up in prison, no doubt Samson repented
