Judges 15:18 in Context — Judges 15

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?

19 Dieu fendit la cavité du rocher qui est à Léchi, et il en sortit de l’eau. Samson but, son esprit se ranima, et il reprit vie. C’est de là qu’on a appelé cette source En-Hakkoré; elle existe encore aujourd’hui à Léchi.

20 Samson fut juge en Israël, au temps des Philistins, pendant vingt ans.
