Exegesis
The subject shimshōn {שִׁמְשׁ֗וֹן | shimshōn} utters the jussive clause tamōt {תָּמ֣וֹת | tāmōt} ‘let die’ with the first person singular suffix on nap̄shî {נַפְשִׁי֮ | nap̄šî} ‘my soul’, expressing a wish to share fate with ʿim-pᵊlištîm {עִם־פְּלִשְׁתִּים֒ | ʿim-pᵊlištîm} ‘with the Philistines’.
In context — Judges 16:30
And Samson said, “Let my soul die with the Philistines!” And he bent with strength , and the house fell upon the rulers and upon all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed in his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.
