Judges 15:13-17

13“No,” they said, “we won’t kill you, but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.” So they tied him up with two new ropes and led him away from the rock.

14When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came to meet him shouting. The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully on him, and the ropes that were on his arms and wrists became like burnt flax and fell off.

15He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand, took it, and killed a thousand men with it.

16Then Samson said: With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them in heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men.

17When he finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone and named that place Jawbone Hill.
