Judges 15:17-20 New English Translation (NET)

17. When he finished speaking, he threw the jawbone down and named that place Ramath Lehi.

18. He was very thirsty, so he cried out to the Lord and said, “You have given your servant this great victory. But now must I die of thirst and fall into hands of the Philistines?”

19. So God split open the basin at Lehi and water flowed out from it. When he took a drink, his strength was restored and he revived. For this reason he named the spring En Hakkore. It remains in Lehi to this very day.

20. Samson led Israel for twenty years during the days of Philistine prominence.
