Judges 15 · Grade 3

Water at En Hakkore

Name Date

Read the Story

At wheat harvest, Samson went to visit his wife. Her father said he had given her to Samson's companion. Samson took revenge. He caught three hundred foxes, tied torches between their tails, and burned the Philistines' grain and olive groves.

The Philistines came to Judah. Three thousand men of Judah asked Samson, Don't you know the Philistines rule over us? They bound him with two new ropes. At Lehi, Yahweh's Spirit came on him. The ropes became like burned flax. With a donkey's jawbone, he defeated many Philistines.

Samson was very thirsty. He called on Yahweh and said, You have given this great deliverance. Shall I now die of thirst? God split the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out. His spirit came again, and he revived. He judged Israel twenty years.

Memory Verse

“But 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.”

Judges 15:19 (WEB)
