Judges 15:13-17

“We promise not to kill you,” they replied. “We’ll only tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines.” They bound him with two brand new ropes and led him from the cave near the cliff of Etam to Lehi. When the Philistines saw Samson coming, they raised a shout of triumph. Immediately, the mighty Spirit of YAHWEH came rushing upon Samson! He snapped the ropes off his arms as if they were strings catching fire, and they fell from his wrists. He spotted a raw jawbone of a donkey lying there on the ground and picked it up. He began to swing it wildly and used it to kill a thousand Philistines that day. Samson then said, “With only a donkey’s jawbone, I made heaps of donkeys out of them! With only a donkey’s jawbone, a thousand men lie slain!” When he finished boasting, he threw the jawbone to the ground. That’s how the place got its name—Jawbone Hill.
