I can't remember the verse though but it was on the movie that the columbine girls dad made in rememberance of her...

Anyone that thinks even for a split second that Samsom committed suicide is looking to find fault with God's plan and how He ministers grace and mercy through His sovereignty. Samson had revealed his secret, the enemy took advantage of it and put out his eyes and as they were going to make sport of him (which would have probably ended in death). He asked the LORD to avenge the enemy and God honored him. Samson slew more in his death then he did alive. Samson was a casualty of war and did in honor as he served and judged Israel (20) years. His death was precious in the sight of God and it has nothing to do with suicide.
