Judges 15:17-19

Context

15:17 When he finished speaking, he threw the jawbone down 1  and named that place Ramath Lehi. 2 

15:18 He was very thirsty, so he cried out to the Lord and said, “You have given your servant 3  this great victory. But now must I die of thirst and fall into hands of the Philistines?” 4  15:19 So God split open the basin 5  at Lehi and water flowed out from it. When he took a drink, his strength 6  was restored and he revived. For this reason he named the spring 7  En Hakkore. 8  It remains in Lehi to this very day.
