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.
But God split open a hollow place in the jawbone, and water flowed out of it. When Samson drank the water, his strength returned and he was refreshed. That's why he named that place En-hakkore, which is still in Lehi to this day.
God miraculously provided water from a jawbone to save Samson's life when he was dying of thirst, showing His care even for flawed servants.
