Judges 15:13-17
13So they saidH559 to 1him, “NoH3808, but we will bindH631 you fastH631 and giveH5414 you into their handsH3027; yet surelyH4191 we will not killH4191 you.” Then they boundH631 him with twoH8147 newH2319 ropesH5688 and broughtH5927 him up from the rockH5553.
14When he cameH935 to LehiH3896, the PhilistinesH6430 shoutedH7321 as they metH7122 him. And 2the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 3cameH6743 upon him mightilyH6743 so that the ropesH5688 that were on his armsH2220 were as flaxH6593 that is burnedH1197 with fireH784, and his bondsH612 4droppedH4549 from his handsH3027. 15He foundH4672 a freshH2961 jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543, so he 5reachedH7971H3027 out and tookH3947 it and 6killedH5221 7a thousandH505 menH376 with it. 16Then SamsonH8123 saidH559, “With the jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543, 8HeapsH2565 upon heapsH2565, With the jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543 I have 9killedH5221 a thousandH505 menH376.” 17When he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696, he threwH7993 the jawboneH3895 from his handH3027; and he namedH7121 that placeH4725 10Ramath-lehiH7437.
