Judges 15:16 in Context — Judges 15
14 Y así que vino hasta Lehi, los Filisteos le salieron á recibir con algazara: y el espíritu de Jehová cayó sobre él, y las cuerdas que estaban en sus brazos se tornaron como lino quemado con fuego, y las ataduras se cayeron de sus manos.
15 Y hallando una quijada de asno fresca, extendió la mano y tomóla, é hirió con ella á mil hombres.
16 Entonces Samsón dijo: con la quijada de un asno, un montón, dos montones; con la quijada de un asno herí mil hombres.
17 Y acabando de hablar, echó de su mano la quijada, y llamó á aquel lugar Ramath-lehi.
18 Y teniendo gran sed, clamó luego á Jehová, y dijo: Tú has dado esta gran salud por mano de tu siervo: ¿y moriré yo ahora de sed, y caeré en mano de los incircuncisos?
