The scene of Samson's well-known adventure with the jawbone of an ass (Jg 15:9,14,18). The site has been placed in Judah, between the Cliff of Etam and the country of the Philistines.
The Philistines went up and invaded Judah. They arrayed themselves for battle in Lehi.
When he arrived in Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they approached him. But the Lord's spirit empowered him. The ropes around his arms were like flax dissolving in fire, and they melted away from his hands.
He was very thirsty, so he cried out to the Lord and said, "You have given your servant this great victory. But now must I die of thirst and fall into hands of the Philistines?"
