uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

בִּ⁠לְחִ֣י הַ⁠חֲמ֔וֹר חֲמ֖וֹר חֲמֹרָתָ֑יִם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shimshvōn/(Samson) with,the_jawbone_of of,the_donkey heap two_heaps with,the_jawbone_of of,the_donkey killed a_thousand (a)_man )

Samson is using words with similar sounds for poetic effect. In Hebrew, the word for donkey sounds similar to the word for heap. You may be able to reproduce this effect in your language. Alternate translation: [With the jawbone of an ass, a mass, two masses]

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

חֲמ֖וֹר חֲמֹרָתָ֑יִם

heap two_heaps

In order to make an emphatic statement, Samson is naming a number that should be sufficient to illustrate his point and then increasing that number by one. This was a common device in Hebrew poetry. If a speaker of your language would not do this, in your translation you could express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [I have killed enough men to make an enormous heap]
