Who or what is this?
Lehi, whose name means 'jawbone,' is a place in the hill country of associated with one of 's most celebrated exploits. After the Philistines bound Samson and brought him to Lehi, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him powerfully and he broke his bonds, picked up the fresh jawbone of a donkey, and struck down a thousand men (Judges 15:9–17). Samson then named that spot Ramath-lehi, meaning 'hill of the jawbone.' He was overcome by thirst afterward and cried to God, who split open a hollow at Lehi and brought forth water, restoring him — and Samson called that spring En-hakkore, 'the spring of him who called.'
