Judges 15:16 in Context — Judges 15
14 E assim que veio até Leí, os filisteus lhe saíram a receber com gritos de vitória: e o espírito do SENHOR caiu sobre ele, e as cordas que estavam em seus braços se tornaram como linho queimado com fogo, e as amarras se caíram de suas mãos.
15 E achando uma queixada de asno fresca, estendeu a mão e tomou-a, e feriu com ela a mil homens.
16 Então Sansão disse: Com a queixada de um asno, um amontoado, dois amontoados; Com a queixada de um asno feri mil homens.
17 E acabando de falar, lançou de sua mão a queixada, e chamou a aquele lugar Ramate-Leí.
18 E tendo grande sede, clamou logo ao SENHOR, e disse: Tu deste esta grande salvação por meio de teu servo: e morrerei eu agora de sede, e cairei em mão dos incircuncisos?
