²⁴ The woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.

¹⁶ Samson said,

¹⁷ When he finished speaking, he tossed away the jawbone. So that place became known as Ramath-lehi.^[a]

¹⁸ Now Samson was very thirsty, so he called out to the Lord, “You are the one who allowed this great victory to be accomplished by your servant’s hands. Am I now going to die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” ¹⁹ So God split open the hollow rock in Lehi, and water flowed out of it. When Samson drank, his energy returned and he was recharged. Thus that place is still called by the name En-hakkore^[b] in Lehi today.

²⁰ Samson led Israel for twenty years during the time of the Philistines.
