JUDGES 15:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0
“But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En–hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.”
Yahweh opens a spring from the jawbone; Samson drinks and revives—a miracle answering prayer. The verb baqaʿ (split/cleave) echoes Reed Sea crossing, connecting to Israel's founding. The spring emerges from the weapon itself, transforming war into sustenance. Yet the naming—"En-hakkore, spring of the caller"—redirects focus from Yahweh's agency to Samson's petition. Ambiguous agency mirrors earlier moments.
