Judges 15:16 in Context — Judges 15
14 Lorsqu’il arriva à Léchi, les Philistins poussèrent des cris à sa rencontre. Alors l’esprit de l’Éternel le saisit. Les cordes qu’il avait aux bras devinrent comme du lin brûlé par le feu, et ses liens tombèrent de ses mains.
15 Il trouva une mâchoire d’âne fraîche, il étendit sa main pour la prendre, et il en tua mille hommes.
16 Et Samson dit: Avec une mâchoire d’âne, un monceau, deux monceaux; Avec une mâchoire d’âne, j’ai tué mille hommes.
17 Quand il eut achevé de parler, il jeta de sa main la mâchoire. Et l’on appela ce lieu Ramath-Léchi.
18 Pressé par la soif, il invoqua l’Éternel, et dit: C’est toi qui as permis par la main de ton serviteur cette grande délivrance; et maintenant mourrais-je de soif, et tomberais-je entre les mains des incirconcis?
