Judges 15:13-17
13So they said to 1him, “No, but we will bind you fast and give you into their hands; yet surely we will not kill you.” Then they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
14When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And 2the Spirit of the Lord 3came upon him mightily so that the ropes that were on his arms were as flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds 4dropped from his hands. 15He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he 5reached out and took it and 6killed 7a thousand men with it. 16Then Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, 8Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have 9killed a thousand men.” 17When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place 10Ramath-lehi.
