14. When Samson arrived at Lehi, the Philistines met him and came out shouting. The Lord’s spirit rushed over him, the ropes on his arms became like burned-up linen, and the ties melted right off his hands.
15. He found a donkey’s fresh jawbone, picked it up, and used it to attack one thousand men.
16. Samson said,"With a donkey’s jawbone,stacks on stacks!With a donkey’s jawbone,I’ve killed one thousand men."
17. When he finished speaking, he tossed away the jawbone. So that place became known as Ramath-lehi.
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 in Lehi today.
20. Samson led Israel for twenty years during the time of the Philistines.
