Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 26. - Suffer me, or it may be rendered, Let me rest. He pretended to be tired, and asked to be allowed to rest a few minutes and lean against the pillars. That I may feel, or, literally, and make me feel. He adds his motive for making the request - that I may lean upon them - to rest himself after the severe exercise of dancing.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(26) That I may feel the pillars.--The temple of Dagon had a flat roof; but further than this we are unable to conjecture what was its architecture. An attempt to explain it is found in Stark's Gaza, p. 332, seq.
