Giudici 15:15-20

Listen to Giudici 15:15-20
15 E, trovata una mascella d’asino ancor fresca, stese la mano, l’afferrò, e uccise con essa mille uomini.
16 E Sansone disse: "Con una mascella d’asino, un mucchio! due mucchi! Con una mascella d’asino ho ucciso mille uomini!"
17 Quand’ebbe finito di parlare, gettò via di mano la mascella, e chiamò quel luogo Ramath-Lehi.
18 Poi ebbe gran sete; e invocò l’Eterno, dicendo: "Tu hai concesso questa gran liberazione per mano del tuo servo; e ora, dovrò io morir di sete e cader nelle mani degli incirconcisi?"
19 Allora Iddio fendé la roccia concava ch’è a Lehi, e ne uscì dell’acqua. Sansone bevve, il suo spirito si rianimò, ed egli riprese vita. Donde il nome di En-Hakkore dato a quella fonte, che esiste anche al dì d’oggi a Lehi.
20 Sansone fu giudice d’Israele, al tempo de’ Filistei, per vent’anni.

Giudici 15:15-20 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JUDGES 15

This chapter relates, that Samson being denied his wife, did by a strange stratagem burn the corn fields, vineyards, and olives of the Philistines, Jud 15:1-5, and that because of their burning her and her father, he made a great slaughter of them, Jud 15:6-8, which brought the Philistines against the men of Judah, who took Samson and bound him, to deliver him to the Philistines, when he, loosing himself, slew a thousand of them with the jaw bone of an ass, Jud 15:9-17 and being athirst, God in a wonderful manner supplied him with water, Jud 15:18-20.
