Judges 15:13-17

13“NoH3808,” they answeredH559, “we will notH3808H4191 kill youH4191, butH3588 we will tie you up securelyH631 and hand you over toH5414 themH3027.” So they bound himH631 with twoH8147 newH2319 ropesH5688 and led him upH5927 fromH4480 the rockH5553.

14WhenH1931 Samson arrivedH935 inH5704 LehiH3896, the PhilistinesH6430 came out shoutingH7321 against himH7122. And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 came mightilyH6743 upon himH5921. The ropesH5688 onH5921 his armsH2220 becameH1961 like burntH1197H784 flaxH6593, and the bondsH612 broke looseH4549 fromH5921 his handsH3027. 15He foundH4672 the freshH2961 jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543, reached outH7971 his handH3027 and took itH3947, and struck downH5221 a thousandH505 menH376. 16Then SamsonH8123 saidH559:

“With the jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543I have piled themH2565 into heapsH2565.1With the jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543I have slainH5221 a thousandH505 menH376.”

17AndH1961 when Samson had finishedH3615 speakingH1696, he castH7993 the jawboneH3895 from his handH3027; and he namedH7121 thatH1931 placeH4725 Ramath-lehiH7437.2
