Judges 15:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 So they said to [a]him, “No, but we will bind you tightly and give you into their hands; but we certainly will not kill you.” Then they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And (A)the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him so that the ropes that were on his arms were like flax that has burned with fire, and his restraints [b]dropped from his hands. 15 Then he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he reached out with his hand and took it, and [c]killed (B)a thousand men with it.

New International Version
13 “Agreed,” they answered. “We will only tie you up and hand you over to them. We will not kill you.” So they bound him with two new ropes(A) and led him up from the rock. 14 As he approached Lehi,(B) the Philistines came toward him shouting. The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him.(C) The ropes on his arms became like charred flax,(D) and the bindings dropped from his hands. 15 Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men.(E)
