Passage Judges 15:15–16

In Judges 15:15-16 Samson strikes down a thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey. It is set beside the previous item as another tale of one man defeating an army with an improvised weapon.

And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put out his hand and took it, and with it he struck 1,000 men. And Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey have I struck down a thousand men.”
