015:006 Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? They said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion. The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire. 015:007 Samson said to them, If you do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease. 015:008 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam. 015:009 Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. 015:010 The men of Judah said, Why are you come up against us? They said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us. 015:011 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Don't you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them. 015:012 They said to him, We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. Samson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves. 015:013 They spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock. 015:014 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands. 015:015 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and struck a thousand men therewith. 015:016 Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men. 015:017 It happened, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi. 015:018 He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh, and said, You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised. 015:019 But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore the name of it was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day. 015:020 He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. 016:001 Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, and went in to her. 016:002 [It was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come here. They compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate
