Judges 15:19

17 And when Samson had finished speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.

18 And being very thirsty, Samson 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 opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned, and he was revived. That is why he named it En-hakkore, and it remains in Lehi to this day.

20 And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
