BRAGADAYJAH 767
Samson In the hands of the Philistines
Having been delivered to them, the
Philistines railed and shouted threats and insults at Samson intending to
humiliate and frighten him preliminary to killing him. But then the Spirit of the Lord came upon him
and he tore himself free of the cords binding him as if they were mere threads
burnt away by fire. Freeing himself, Samson found the jawbone of a dead ass,
and using it, he slayed a thousand Philistine soldiers. And Samson proclaimed, “With
the jawbone of an ass heaps upon heaps with the jaw of an ass I have slain a
thousand men.” And it happened that when he was finished speaking, that he
threw away the jawbone out of his hand and called the place Ramath-lehi. And
after that he was very thirsty and he called upon the Lord, and the Lord gave
him water out of the discarded jaw bone and he called the name of the place
Enhakkore which is a place in Lehi. And Samson judged Israel during the days of
the Philistine twenty years.
