Judges 15:18-19
New English Translation

18 He was very thirsty, so he cried out to the Lord and said, “You have given your servant[a] this great victory. But now must I die of thirst and fall into the hands of these uncircumcised Philistines?”[b] 19 So God split open the basin[c] at Lehi and water flowed out from it. When he took a drink, his strength[d] was restored and he revived. For this reason he named the spring[e] En Hakkore.[f] It remains in Lehi to this very day.
