Samson Kills 1000 Philistines

Taken from the Movie Samson 2018 Jdg 15:9  The Philistines then went up and encamped in Yehuḏah, and spread out against Leḥi.  Jdg 15:10  And the men of Yehuḏah said, “Why have you come up against us?” And they answered, “We have come up to bind Shimshon, to do to him as he has done to us.”  Jdg 15:11  Then three thousand men of Yehuḏah went down to the cleft of the rock of Ěytam and said to Shimshon, “Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? Why have you done this to us?” And he said to them, “As they did to me, so I did to them.”  Jdg 15:12  And they said to him, “We have come down to bind you, to give you into the hand of the Philistines.” And Shimshon said to them, “Swear to me not to fall on me yourselves.”  Jdg 15:13  And they spoke to him, saying, “No, but we are certainly going to bind you, and shall give you into their hand but certainly not kill you.” So they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.  Jdg 15:14  When he came to Leḥi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. And the Spirit of יהוה came mightily upon him. And the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands.  Jdg 15:15  And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put out his hand and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.  Jdg 15:16  And Shimshon said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, one heap, two heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey I have stricken a thousand men!”  Jdg 15:17  And it came to be, when he had ended speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath Leḥi.  Jdg 15:18  And he became very thirsty, and cried out to יהוה and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant. And now, am I to die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?”  Jdg 15:19  And Elohim split the hollow place that is in Leḥi, and water came out, and he drank. And his spirit came back, and he revived. So he called its name Ěn Haqqore, which is in Leḥi to this day.  Jdg 15:20  And he ruled Yisra’ěl twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
