Judges 15:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ Samson was so thirsty that he prayed, “Our Lord, you helped me win a battle against a whole army. Please don't let me die of thirst now. Those heathen Philistines will carry off my dead body.”

¹⁹ Samson was tired and weary, but God sent water gushing from a rock.^[a] Samson drank some and felt strong again.

Samson named the place Caller Spring,^[b] because he had called out to God for help. The spring is still there at Jawbone.

²⁰ Samson was a leader^[c] of Israel for 20 years, but the Philistines were still the rulers of Israel.
