This site is intimately connected with a miraculous event in Samson's life, as recorded in the Book of Judges.<br><br><b>Biblical Account</b><br><br>The account of Enhakkore is found in <a href="/judges/15-18.htm">Judges 15:18-19</a>. After Samson achieved a great victory over the Philistines by slaying a thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey, he found himself in dire need of water. Overcome with thirst, Samson cried out to the LORD, expressing his fear of dying from thirst after such a divinely aided triumph. In response to his plea, God miraculously provided water. The Berean Standard Bible recounts this event as follows:<br><br>"Then Samson became very thirsty, and he cried out to the LORD, 'You have accomplished this great deliverance through Your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?' So God split open the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned, and he revived. Therefore he named it Enhakkore, and it remains in Lehi to this day." (<a href="/judges/15-18.htm">Judges 15:18-19</a>)<br><br><b>Significance</b><br><br>Enhakkore serves as a testament to God's provision and faithfulness. The miraculous provision of water at Enhakkore underscores the theme of divine intervention and sustenance in times of need. Samson's experience at Enhakkore highlights the importance of reliance on God, even for basic necessities, and serves as a reminder of God's ability to provide for His people in miraculous ways.<br><br><b>Location</b><br><br>The exact geographical location of Enhakkore is not definitively known today. It is described as being in Lehi, a region associated with Samson's exploits against the Philistines. The name "Lehi" itself means "jawbone," which ties back to the earlier event where Samson used a donkey's jawbone to defeat his enemies. The site of Enhakkore, therefore, is symbolically linked to both Samson's victory and God's provision.<br><br><b>Theological Reflection</b><br><br>Enhakkore illustrates the broader biblical principle that God hears and responds to the cries of His people. Samson's prayer and God's subsequent provision of water serve as a microcosm of the relationship between God and Israel, where God repeatedly delivers and sustains His chosen people despite their shortcomings. This narrative encourages believers to trust in God's provision and to call upon Him in times of need, confident in His ability to provide and sustain.<br><br>In summary, Enhakkore is a powerful symbol of God's miraculous provision and a reminder of the importance of faith and reliance on divine assistance. The account of Enhakkore continues to inspire believers to seek God's help and to trust in His unfailing care.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Enhakkore</span><p>(<i>fount of the caller</i>), the spring which burst out in answer to the cry of Samson after his exploit with the jawbone.
