07:015:008 And he smote them hip and thigh with a
great slaughter: and he
went
down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
07:015:009 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched
in Judah, and spread
themselves
in Lehi.
07:015:010 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come
up against us? And
they
answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him
as
he
hath done to us.
07:015:011 Then three thousand men of Judah went to
the top of the rock
Etam,
and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the
Philistines
are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast
done
unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto
me, so
have
I done unto them.
07:015:012 And they said unto him, We are come down
to bind thee, that we
may
deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines.
And Samson
said
unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon
me
yourselves.
07:015:013 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but
we will bind thee
fast,
and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we
will not
kill
thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and
brought
him
up from the rock.
07:015:014 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines
shouted against
him:
and the Spirit of the lord came mightily upon
him, and
the
cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was
burnt
with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
07:015:015 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and
put forth his hand,
and
took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
07:015:016 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an
ass, heaps upon heaps,
with
the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
07:015:017 And it came to pass, when he had made an
end of speaking, that
he
cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that
place
Ramathlehi.
07:015:018 And he was sore athirst, and called on
the lord, and said,
Thou
hast given this great deliverance into the hand of
thy
servant:
and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the
hand
of the uncircumcised?
07:015:019 But God clave an hollow place that was
in the jaw, and there
came
water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came
again,
and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof
Enhakkore,
which is in Lehi unto this day.
07:015:020 And he judged Israel in the days of the
Philistines twenty
years.
07:016:001 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there
an harlot, and went in
unto
her.
