Place in Judah, near to the land of the Philistines. It was where Samson slew a thousand men with the jaw-bone of an ass (Judg. 15:9-17). Lehi signifies “jaw-bone,” but whether the place had this name before the victory or after is not clear. Samson called the place RAMATH-LEHI, “hill of the jaw-bone” Judges 15:19 is better translated, “God clave the hollow place that is in Lehi,” that is, in the rock, not in the jaw-bone.
