En-hakkore

En-hakkore, meaning spring of the caller or fountain of him who called, was the name given to a spring that God miraculously opened at Lehi after Samson's great victory over the Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. Exhausted and desperately thirsty after slaying a thousand men, Samson cried out to God in prayer—the one recorded prayer of his life—acknowledging that if he died of thirst, the uncircumcised Philistines would claim the victory.

God opened a hollow in the rocky ground from which water burst forth, and the place was named En-hakkore to commemorate both the divine provision and Samson's act of calling on God. The site at Lehi is otherwise unidentified with certainty, though some proposed locations include sites in the Shephelah. The episode is theologically significant as one of the rare moments in the Samson cycle when the judge explicitly acknowledges his dependence on God, and the name memorializes both the prayer (the calling) and the miraculous answer.
