God’s Word Translation
Judges 15:13-17
13They told him, “We promise we’ll only tie you up and hand you over to them. We certainly won’t kill you.” So they tied him up with two new ropes and brought him back from the cliff.
14When he came to Lehi, the Philistines met him with shouts ⌞of triumph⌟. But the Lord’s Spirit came over him. The ropes on his arms became like strings burned in a fire, and those on his hands snapped.
15Samson found the jawbone from a donkey that had just died. He picked it up and killed 1,000 men with it.
16Then Samson said, “With a jawbone from a donkey, I’ve made two piles of them. With a jawbone from a donkey, I’ve killed a thousand men.”
17When he finished saying this, he threw the jawbone away. He called that place Ramath Lehi [Jawbone Hill].
