Judges 16:25

And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry [the celebration was in full swing], that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may make us merry (entertain us – Hebr. sochaq)." [Perhaps they placed objects that he could not see so that he would trip over them. This is just one of several ways to mock a blind person in an unfamiliar place.]
And they called for Samson from the prison house, and he was mocked (laughed at – Hebr. tsachaq) before them. Then they placed him between the pillars.
