Judges 15:14-19

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

18And being veryH3966 thirstyH6770, Samson cried outH7121 toH413 the LORDH3068H559, “YouH859 have accomplishedH5414 thisH2063 greatH1419 deliveranceH8668 throughH3027 Your servantH5650. Must I nowH6258 dieH4191 of thirstH6772 and fallH5307 into the handsH3027 of the uncircumcisedH6189?”

19So GodH430 opened upH1234 the hollow placeH4388 in LehiH3895, and waterH4325 came outH3318 of itH4480. When Samson drankH8354, his strengthH7307 returnedH7725, and he was revivedH2421. That is whyH5921H3651 he named itH7121H8034 En-hakkoreH5875,3 and it remainsH834 in LehiH3896 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.
