Verse 18 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.

Tenía mucha sed y clamó a Jehová: «Tú has dado esta gran salvación por mano de tu siervo. ¿Y ahora voy a morir de sed y caer en manos de los incircuncisos?».
Pressé par la soif, il invoqua l'Eternel, et dit: C'est toi qui as permis par la main de ton serviteur cette grande délivrance; et maintenant mourrais je de soif, et tomberais-je entre les mains des incirconcis?
Poi ebbe gran sete; e gridò al Signore, e disse: Tu hai messa questa gran vittoria in mano al tuo servo; ed ora ho io a morir di sete, e a cader nelle mani degl’incirconcisi?
E como tivesse grande sede, clamou ao SENHOR, e disse: Pela mão do teu servo tu deste esta grande salvação; morrerei eu pois agora de sede, e cairei na mão destes incircuncisos?
