And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 15 of Judges. The Spirit of the Lord comes upon Samson, he breaks the ropes, and kills a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. After the victory he becomes intensely thirsty and cries out to the Lord, who provides water. The episode attributes Samson’s strength to the Spirit rather than to the object used as a weapon. The spring receives a name associated with the divine response to the judge’s need.

Und da er kam bis gen Lehi, jauchzten die Philister ihm entgegen. Aber der Geist Gottes geriet über ihn, und die Stricke an seinen Armen wurden wie Fäden, die das Feuer versengt hat, daß die Bande an seinen Händen zerschmolzen.
Y así que vino hasta Lehi, los Filisteos le salieron a recibir con algazara: y el espíritu de Jehová cayó sobre él, y las cuerdas que estaban en sus brazos se tornaron como lino quemado con fuego, y las ataduras se cayeron de sus manos.
Cuando llegó a Lehi, los filisteos salieron gritando a su encuentro. Pero el Espíritu de Jehová vino con fuerza sobre él. Las cuerdas de sus brazos se volvieron como lino quemado por el fuego, y las ataduras se deshicieron de sus manos.
Lorsqu'il arriva à Léchi, les Philistins poussèrent des cris à sa rencontre. Alors l'esprit de l'Eternel le saisit. Les cordes qu'il avait aux bras devinrent comme du lin brûlé par le feu, et ses liens tombèrent de ses mains.
Quando egli fu giunto a Lehi, i Filistei gli vennero incontro, con grida d’allegrezza; ma lo Spirito del Signore si avventò sopra lui; e le funi ch’egli avea in su le braccia, diventarono come lino che si arde al fuoco, e i suoi legami si sciolsero d’in su le sue mani.
E, vindo ele a Leí, os filisteus lhe saíram ao encontro, jubilando; porém o Espírito do SENHOR poderosamente se apossou dele, e as cordas que ele tinha nos braços se tornaram como fios de linho que se queimaram no fogo, e as suas amarraduras se desfizeram das suas mãos.
參孫 到了 利希 , 非利士 人對著他喊叫。耶和華的靈大大感動 參孫 ,他手臂上的繩子就像著火的麻一樣,綁他的繩子從他手上脫落下來。
