Judges 15:14-19

14When he cameH935 to LehiH3896, the PhilistinesH6430 shoutedH7321 as they metH7122 him. And 1the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 2cameH6743 upon him mightilyH6743 so that the ropesH5688 that were on his armsH2220 were as flaxH6593 that is burnedH1197 with fireH784, and his bondsH612 3droppedH4549 from his handsH3027. 15He foundH4672 a freshH2961 jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543, so he 4reachedH7971H3027 out and tookH3947 it and 5killedH5221 6a thousandH505 menH376 with it. 16Then SamsonH8123 saidH559, “With the jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543, 7HeapsH2565 upon heapsH2565, With the jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543 I have 8killedH5221 a thousandH505 menH376.” 17When he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696, he threwH7993 the jawboneH3895 from his handH3027; and he namedH7121 that placeH4725 9Ramath-lehiH7437. 18Then he becameH6770 veryH3966 thirstyH6770, and he 10calledH7121 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “You have givenH5414 thisH2088 greatH1419 deliveranceH8668 by the handH3027 of Your servantH5650, and nowH6258 11shall I dieH4191 of thirstH6772 12and fallH5307 into the handsH3027 of the uncircumcisedH6189?” 19But GodH430 splitH1234 the hollowH4388 place that is in LehiH3896 so that waterH4325 cameH3318 out of it. When he drankH8354, 13his 14strengthH7307 returnedH7725 and he revivedH2421. ThereforeH5921H3651 he namedH7121H8034 it 15En-hakkoreH5875, whichH834 is in LehiH3896 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
