Judges 15:19But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
The setting
Lehi, ancient Israel (modern-day West Bank). Samson lies exhausted after slaughtering 1000 Philistines with a donkey's jawbone, near death from thirst...
The emotion here: amazed at God's timing and provision
The original word
En Hakkore (עֵין הַקּוֹרֵא) — Spring of the Caller, commemorating Samson's desperate cry to God
Why it matters
Lehi means 'jawbone' in Hebrew, named after Samson's weapon of choice
Read with care
What most readers miss in Judges 15:19
God provided water AFTER the victory, not during the battle — sometimes provision comes in the exhaustion that follows obedience
Common misconceptionPeople think God always provides strength during the battle, but here He provides recovery after victory. Sometimes God's provision comes in the aftermath.
