Samson’s prayer, his first in the story, reveals that he knew he was participating in holy war as God’s deliverer (Judges 15:18). He gave God the credit for his victory. The word translated "thou" or "you" is in the emphatic position in the Hebrew text. He cried out to the Lord for water after his strenuous fight. God amazingly and graciously provided water for His rebellious servant in a very unusual way, and Samson’s strength revived (Judges 15:19; cf. Exodus 17:6; Numbers 20:11). Samson named that place "Supplicant’s Spring."
