Judges 15:13-17

13And they spake unto him, sayingH559, No; but we will bindH631 thee fast, and deliver thee into their handH3027: but surely we will not killH4191 thee. And they boundH631 him with twoH8147 newH2319 ropesH5688, and broughtH5927 him up from the rockH5553.

14When he cameH935 unto LehiH3896, the PhilistinesH6430 shoutedH7321 as they met him: and the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah cameH935 mightily upon him, and the ropesH5688 that were upon his armsH2220 becameH1961 as flaxH6593 that wasH1961 burnt with fireH784, and his bands dropped from off his handsH3027. 15And he foundH4672 a freshH2961 jawboneH3895 of an ass, and put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 it, and smote a thousandH505 menH376 therewith. 16And SamsonH8123 saidH559,

With the jawboneH3895 of an ass, heaps upon heaps,With the jawboneH3895 of an ass have I smitten a thousandH505 menH376.

17And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696, that he castH7993 awayH7993 the jawboneH3895 out of his handH3027; and that placeH4725 wasH1961 calledH7121 Ramath-lehi.
