elevation of Lehi, or the jawbone height; i.e., the Ramah of Lehi (Jg 15:15-17). The phrase "in the jaw," ver. Jg 15:19, Authorized Version, is in the margin, also in the Revised Version, "in Lehi." Here Samson slew a thousand Philistines with a jawbone.
He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand, took it, and killed 1,000 men with it. Then Samson said: With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them in a heap. With the jawbone of a donkey I have killed 1,000 men. read more. When he finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone and named that place Ramath-lehi.
So God split a hollow place [in the ground] at Lehi, and water came out of it. After Samson drank, his strength returned, and he revived. That is why he named it En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
