Judges 15:12-20

15:12

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We are come down
<03381> (8804)

to bind
<0631> (8800)

thee, that we may deliver
<05414> (8800)

thee into the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me, that ye will not fall upon
<06293> (8799)

me yourselves.

15:13

And they spake
<0559> (8799)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

No; but we will bind
<0631> (8799)

thee fast
<0631> (8800)_,

and deliver
<05414> (8804)

thee into their hand
<03027>_:

but surely
<04191> (8687)

we will not kill
<04191> (8686)

thee. And they bound
<0631> (8799)

him with two
<08147>

new
<02319>

cords
<05688>_,

and brought him up
<05927> (8686)

from the rock
<05553>_.

15:14

[And] when he came
<0935> (8804)

unto Lehi
<03896>_,

the Philistines
<06430>

shouted
<07321> (8689)

against
<07125> (8800)

him: and the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came mightily
<06743> (8799)

upon him, and the cords
<05688>

that [were] upon his arms
<02220>

became as flax
<06593>

that was burnt
<01197> (8804)

with fire
<0784>_,

and his bands
<0612>

loosed
<04549> (8735)

from off his hands
<03027>_.

{loosed: Heb. were melted}

15:15

And he found
<04672> (8799)

a new
<02961>

jawbone
<03895>

of an ass
<02543>_,

and put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

it, and slew
<05221> (8686)

a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

therewith. {new: Heb. moist}

15:16

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

With the jawbone
<03895>

of an ass
<02543>_,

heaps
<02565>

upon heaps
<02565>_,

with the jaw
<03895>

of an ass
<02543>

have I slain
<05221> (8689)

a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

{heaps upon...: Heb. an heap, two heaps}

15:17

And it came to pass, when he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)_,

that he cast away
<07993> (8686)

the jawbone
<03895>

out of his hand
<03027>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

that place
<04725>

Ramathlehi
<07437>_.

{Ramathlehi: that is, the lifting up of the jawbone, or, casting away of the jawbone}

15:18

And he was sore
<03966>

athirst
<06770> (8799)_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

on the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

this great
<01419>

deliverance
<08668>

into the hand
<03027>

of thy servant
<05650>_:

and now shall I die
<04191> (8799)

for thirst
<06772>_,

and fall
<05307> (8804)

into the hand
<03027>

of the uncircumcised
<06189>_?

15:19

But God
<0430>

clave
<01234> (8799)

an hollow place
<04388>

that [was] in the jaw
<03895>_,

and there came
<03318> (8799)

water
<04325>

thereout; and when he had drunk
<08354> (8799)_,

his spirit
<07307>

came again
<07725> (8799)_,

and he revived
<02421> (8799)_:

wherefore he called
<07121> (8802)

the name
<08034>

thereof Enhakkore
<05875>_,

which [is] in Lehi
<03896>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Enhakkore: that is, the well of him that called or, cried} {the jaw: or, Lehi, as called in this chapter}

15:20

And he judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

in the days
<03117>

of the Philistines
<06430>

twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>_.
