Judges 15:17-19
English Standard Version Anglicised
17 As soon as he had finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone out of his hand. And that place (A)was called Ramath-lehi.[a]
18 And he was very thirsty, and he called upon the Lord and said, (B)“You have granted this great salvation by the hand of your servant, and shall I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” 19 And God split open the hollow place that is (C)at Lehi, and water came out from it. And when he drank, (D)his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkore;[b] it is at Lehi to this day.

New International Version
17 When he finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone; and the place was called Ramath Lehi.[a](A)
18 Because he was very thirsty, he cried out to the Lord,(B) “You have given your servant this great victory.(C) 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.(D) So the spring(E) was called En Hakkore,[b] and it is still there in Lehi.
