Names of God Bible
15 Samson found the jawbone from a donkey that had just died. He picked it up and killed 1,000 men with it. 16 Then Samson said,
“With a jawbone from a donkey,
I’ve made two piles of them.
With a jawbone from a donkey,
I’ve killed a thousand men.”
17 When he finished saying this, he threw the jawbone away. He called that place Ramath Lehi [Jawbone Hill].
