Judges 15:14-19
14And when he cameH935 unto LehiH3896, the PhilistinesH6430 shoutedH7321 againstH7125 him: and the SpiritH7307 of YhwhH3068 came mightilyH6743 upon him, and the cordsH5688 that were upon his armsH2220 became as flaxH6593 that was burntH1197 with fireH784, and his bandsH612 loosedH4549 from off his handsH3027.1 15And he foundH4672 a newH2961 jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543, and put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 it, and slewH5221 a thousandH505 menH376 therewith.2 16And SamsonH8123 saidH559, With the jawboneH3895 of a donkeyH2543, heapsH2565 upon heapsH2565, with the jawH3895 of a donkeyH2543 have I slainH5221 a thousandH505 menH376.3 17And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696, that he cast awayH7993 the jawboneH3895 out of his handH3027, and calledH7121 that placeH4725 Ramath–lehiH7437.4
18And he was soreH3966 athirstH6770, and calledH7121 on YhwhH3068, and saidH559, Thou hast givenH5414 this greatH1419 deliveranceH8668 into the handH3027 of thy servantH5650: and now shall I dieH4191 for thirstH6772, and fallH5307 into the handH3027 of the uncircumcisedH6189? 19But GodH430 claveH1234 an hollow placeH4388 that was in the jawH3895, and there cameH3318 waterH4325 thereout; and when he had drunkH8354, his spiritH7307 came againH7725, and he revivedH2421: wherefore he calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof En–hakkoreH5875, which is in LehiH3896 unto this dayH3117.56
