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. Judges 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 RAMATHLEHI, '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.
