¹⁴ Samson approached Lehi. The Philistines came toward him shouting. Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Samson with power. The ropes on his arms became like burned thread. They dropped off his hands. ¹⁵ He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey. He grabbed hold of it and struck down 1,000 men. ¹⁶ Then Samson said, "By using a donkey's jawbone I've made them look like donkeys. By using a donkey's jawbone I've struck down 1,000 men." ¹⁷ Samson finished speaking. Then he threw the jawbone away. That's why the place was called Ramath Lehi. ¹⁸ Samson was very thirsty. So he cried out to the Lord. He said, "You have helped me win this great battle. Do I have to die of thirst now? Must I fall into the power of people who haven't even been circumcised? They aren't your people."
