Judges 15:15-19
New American Standard Bible
15 Then he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he reached out with his hand and took it, and [a]killed (A)a thousand men with it. 16 And Samson said,
“With the jawbone of a donkey,
[b]Heaps upon heaps,
With the jawbone of a donkey
I have [c]killed a thousand men.”
17 When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place [d]Ramath-lehi. 18 Then he became very thirsty, and he (B)called to the Lord and said, “You have [e]handed this great [f]victory over to Your servant, and now [g]am I to die of thirst [h]and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” 19 But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi so that water came out of it. When he drank, (C)his [i]strength returned and he revived. Therefore he named it [j]En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
