What Does Judges 15:19 Mean?
In answer to Samson's cry, God opens a hollow place and brings forth water. Samson drinks, his spirit revives, and his strength returns. He names the spring En-hakkore, the spring of the one who called, a lasting witness that God heard and answered his plea.
The name itself preaches: God hears the one who calls upon Him. As the Lord once gave water from the rock to a thirsting people in the wilderness, so here He satisfies His servant in his need. The well that endured at Lehi unto this day stands as a sign that no honest cry to God goes unanswered, and that He revives the fainting who turn to Him.
