Judges 15:16-18
International Standard Version
16 Then Samson declared,
“With a jawbone from the donkey—
here a heap, there a pair of heaps—[a]
with the jawbone of the donkey
I’ve killed 1,000 men.”
17 When he finally finished bragging, he discarded the jawbone and named that place “Jawbone Heights.”[b]
18 Aferward, he became thirsty, called out to the Lord, and told him, “So, you provided this great deliverance at the hands[c] of your servant, but now I’m to die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
