Jdg 15:19 — 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 Enhakkore, which [is] in Lehi unto this day.
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

the jaw   or, Lehi. This reading is certainly preferable: it was in the place called Lehi where a spring was supernaturally opened.
there came   Isa 44:3
his spirit   Gen 45:27; 1Sa 30:12; Isa 40:26
En-hakkore   Samson gave this expressive name to the miraculously springing water, to be as a memorial of the goodness of God to him. En-hakkore, the well of him that cried, which kept him in remembrance both of his own distress which caused him to cry, and the favour of Jehovah to him in answer to his cry. Many a spring of comfort God opens to his people, which may fitly be called by the name En-hakkore: and this instance of Samson's relief should encourage us to trust in God, for when he pleases he can open rivers in high places. Isa 41:17,18; Samson at first gave the name of Ramath-lehi (the lifting up of the jaw-bone) which denoted him great and triumphant: but now he gives it another name, En-hakkore, which denotes him wanting and dependent.; Gen 16:13,; Gen 28:19; Gen 30:30; Exd 17:15; Psa 34:6; Psa 120:1
