Judges 15:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 15:14

12 But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Then Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”

13 So they spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will tie you securely and deliver you into their hand; but we will surely not kill you.” And they bound him with two ^anew ropes and brought him up from the rock.

14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then ^athe Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds¹ broke loose from his hands.

15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and ^akilled 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 slain a thousand men!”
