Ramath Lehi
라맛 레히
The place Judges 15:17 names: when Samson has finished speaking, he throws the jawbone out of his hand, “and that place was called Ramath Lehi.” At 15:14–16 Samson comes to Lehi and strikes a thousand men with a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and says, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.” The Korean Revised Version has Samson name the place. This collection keeps it apart from Lehi.
