Judges 15:14-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him mightily so that the ropes that were on his arms were as flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds dropped from his hands.

15. He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he reached out and took it and killed a thousand men with it.

16. Then Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men."

17. When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.

18. Then he became very thirsty, and he called to the Lord and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant, and now shall I die of thirst 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, his strength returned and he revived. Therefore he named it En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.

20. So he judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
