New Testament

Judges 15:13-17 Good News Bible (GNB)

13. “All right,” they said, “we are only going to tie you up and hand you over to them. We won't kill you.” So they tied him up with two new ropes and brought him back from the cliff.

14. When he got to Lehi, the Philistines came running towards him, shouting at him. Suddenly the power of the Lord made him strong, and he broke the ropes round his arms and hands as if they were burnt thread.

15. Then he found the jawbone of a donkey that had recently died. He bent down and picked it up, and killed a thousand men with it.

16. So Samson sang,“With the jawbone of a donkey I killed a thousand men;With the jawbone of a donkey I piled them up in piles.”

17. After that, he threw the jawbone away. The place where this happened was named Ramath Lehi.
