Judges 15:18-19

18 He was very thirsty, so he cried out to the Lord and said, “You have given your servant ^{▼▼Heb “you have placed into the hand of your servant.”} this great victory. But now must I die of thirst and fall into hands of the Philistines?” ^{▼▼ Heb “the uncircumcised,” which in context refers to the Philistines.} 19 So God split open the basin ^{▼▼ 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 ^{▼▼Heb “spirit.”} was restored and he revived. For this reason he named the spring ^{▼▼ Heb “named it”; the referent (the spring) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} En Hakkore. ^{▼▼ The name En Hakkore means “Spring of the one who cries out.”} It remains in Lehi to this very day.
