‏ Judges 15:18-19

18 He was very thirsty, so he cried out to the Lord and said, “You have given your servant ^{▼▼tn Heb “you have placed into the hand of your servant.”} this great victory. But now must I die of thirst and fall into the hands of these uncircumcised Philistines?” ^{▼▼tn Heb “the hand of uncircumcised.” “Hand” often represents power or control. “The uncircumcised [ones]” is used as a pejorative and in the context refers to the Philistines.} 19 So God split open the basin ^{▼▼tn The word translated “basin” refers to a circular-shaped depression in the land’s surface.} at Lehi, and water flowed out from it. When he took a drink, his strength ^{▼▼tn Heb “spirit.”} was restored and he revived. For this reason he named the spring ^{▼▼tn Heb “named it”; the referent (the spring) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} En Hakkore. ^{▼▼sn The name En Hakkore means “Spring of the one who cries out.”} It remains in Lehi to this very day.
