Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 15:19

_ _ a hollow place ... in the jaw — “in Lehi” — taking the word as a proper noun, marking the place.

_ _ there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again — His strength, exhausted by the violent and long-continued exertion, was recruited by the refreshing draft from the spring; and it was called

_ _ En-hakkore — the “supplication well,” a name which records the piety of this heroic champion.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 15:18-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 15:19

In the Jaw — Either causing the jaw — bone to send forth water, as the rock formerly did, causing a spring to break forth in that Lehi, mentioned Judges 15:14, for Lehi is both the name of a place, and a jaw — bone. En — hakkore — That is, the fountain of him that cried for thirst; or, that called upon God for deliverance; that is, the fountain which was given in answer to my prayer. In Lehi — According to this translation, Lehi is the name of a place.

Enhakkore:
Samson gave this expressive name to the miraculously springing water, to be as a memorial of the goodness of God to him. En-hakkore, the well of him that cried, which kept him in remembrance both of his own distress which caused him to cry, and the favour of Jehovah to him in answer to his cry. Many a spring of comfort God opens to his people, which may fitly be called by the name En-hakkore, and this instance of Samson's relief should encourage us to trust in God, for when he pleases he can open rivers in high places.
