Judges 15:13-17
English Standard Version
13 They said to him, “No; we will only bind you and give you into their hands. We will surely not kill you.” So they bound him with two (A)new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. (B)Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that has caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands. 15 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put out his hand and took it, (C)and with it he struck 1,000 men. 16 And Samson said,
“With the jawbone of a donkey,
heaps upon heaps,
with the jawbone of a donkey
have I struck down a thousand men.”
17 As soon as he had finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone out of his hand. And that place (D)was called Ramath-lehi.[a]
