Judges 16:21

And the Philistines seized him and gouged out (literally: dug out) his eyes, and they went down with him to Gaza and imprisoned him in bronze shackles and made him grind in the house where he was imprisoned.
[Samson's great weakness was women. Seeing beautiful women and letting his eyes control him led him to fall away from God. See 1 John 2:15–17; Matt. 5:29. Therefore, it is logical that it was his eyes that were taken from him.]
