Samson found a fresh jawbone of a donkey. He picked it up, and killed a thousand men with it. Then Samson said: With the jawbone of a donkey I piled them in piles. With the jawbone of a donkey I killed a thousand men. When he finished speaking he threw the jawbone away. The place where this happened was named Ramath Lehi. Samson became very thirsty.

God opened a hollow place in the ground there at Lehi, and water came out of it. Samson drank it and felt better. The spring was named Hakkore. It still exists there at Lehi.
