Good News Translation
17 After that, he threw the jawbone away. The place where this happened was named Ramath Lehi.[a]
18 Then Samson became very thirsty, so he called to the Lord and said, “You gave me this great victory; am I now going to die of thirst and be captured by these heathen Philistines?” 19 Then God opened a hollow place in the ground there at Lehi, and water came out of it. Samson drank it and began to feel much better. So the spring was named Hakkore;[b] it is still there at Lehi.
