Who destroyed the Philistine temple with his strength?

Who destroyed the Philistine temple with his strength? Samson destroyed the Philistine temple by pulling down its supporting pillars.

The Book of Judges presents Samson as an Israelite judge whose extraordinary strength was connected to his Nazirite dedication to God. After Delilah discovered the secret of his uncut hair, the Philistines captured Samson, blinded him, and imprisoned him at Gaza.

While Samson was held captive, his hair began to grow again. The Philistine rulers gathered in a temple to celebrate his capture and to honor their god Dagon. Samson was brought out for entertainment and positioned between two supporting pillars.

Samson prayed for strength, pushed against the pillars, and caused the temple to collapse. The account says that he killed himself along with many Philistines. This episode is often confused with Samson’s earlier feats, such as killing a lion or defeating Philistines with a donkey’s jawbone. The temple scene occurs in Judges 16, near the end of Samson’s story.
