Judges 16:30

And Samson said, "Let me (my person – Hebr. nefesh) die with the Philistines." And he stretched out his strength (his own ability – Hebr. koach) and the house [Dagon's temple] fell on the princes and on all the people who were there. And those he killed when he died were more than those he had killed while he was alive.
[It is clear that God answers Samson's prayer, but even here Samson uses his own ability. The conclusion is also a sad observation that this man with a special calling wasted his life and did more for the Israelites dead than when he was alive. His last words, "Let me die with the Philistines," become the tragic last words of the one who was supposed to be a Nazirite, set apart for God's service. The next verse notes how the Israelites retrieved his body and gave him a dignified burial.]

καὶ εἶπεν Σαμψων ἀποθανέτω ψυχή μου μετὰ ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐβάσταξεν ἐν ἰσχύι καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ οἶκος ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἦσαν οἱ τεθνηκότες οὓς ἐθανάτωσεν Σαμψων ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτοῦ πλείους ἢ οὓς ἐθανάτωσεν ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ
