How did Samson quench his thirst after killing 1000 men with the jawbone of an ass?


God made a hole in a jawbone of an ass and filled it with water, from which Samson drank.

(This was the same jawbone he used to kill the thousand Philistines.)

And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

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. Judges 15:18-19
