New Testament

Judges 15:15-20 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

15. Samson found a jawbone of a dead donkey and killed 1000 Philistine men with it.

16. Then Samson said, “With a donkey’s jawbone, I killed 1000 men! With a donkey’s jawbone, I piled them into a tall pile.”

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

18. Samson was very thirsty. So he cried to the Lord. He said, “I am your servant. You gave me this great victory. Please don’t let me die from thirst now. Please don’t let me be captured by men who are not even circumcised.”

19. There is a hole in the ground at Lehi. God made that hole crack open, and water came out. Samson drank the water and felt better. He felt strong again. So he named that water spring En Hakkore. It is still there in the city of Lehi today.

20. Samson was a judge for the Israelites for 20 years during the time of the Philistines.
