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!”
“With the jawbone of a donkey,
Heaps upon heaps,
With the jawbone of a donkey
I have slain a thousand men!”
17 And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place1 Ramath Lehi.
18 Then he became very thirsty; so he cried out to the Lord and said, a“You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant; and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?”
