And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon , and the ropes on his arms became as flax that had caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands. ¹⁵ And he found a still moist jawbone of a donkey and reached out and took it and slew 1,000 men with it. ¹⁶ And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey I have slain 1,000 men! ¹⁷ And when he stopped speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi . ¹⁸ Samson was very thirsty, and he prayed to the Lord and said, You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant, and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?
