Judges 15:13-17
13So they said to 1him, “No, but we will bind you tightly and give you into their hands; but we certainly 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 rushed upon him so that the ropes that were on his arms were like flax that has burned with fire, and his restraints 3dropped from his hands. 15Then he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he reached out with his hand and took it, and 4killed 5a thousand men with it. 16And Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, 6Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have 7killed a thousand men.” 17When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place 8Ramath-lehi.
