19 But Elohim split open the hollow place that is at Lechi, and there came mayim thereout; and when he had drunk, his ruach came again, and he revived; wherefore he called the shem thereof En HaKorei (Spring of the Caller), which is in Lechi unto this day.

Judges 15:18-20
New International Version
18 Because he was very thirsty, he cried out to the Lord,(A) “You have given your servant this great victory.(B) Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” 19 Then God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned and he revived.(C) So the spring(D) was called En Hakkore,[a] and it is still there in Lehi.
20 Samson led[b] Israel for twenty years(E) in the days of the Philistines.
