Usage: The term "Lechi" is used in the context of a geographical location in the biblical narrative, particularly associated with the exploits of Samson. Context: Lechi is a place mentioned in the biblical account of Samson, found in the Book of Judges. It is most notably recognized as the site where Samson achieved a significant victory over the Philistines. According to Judges 15:9-19, the Philistines encamped in Judah and spread out near Lechi. The men of Judah, fearing the Philistines, bound Samson and brought him to Lechi. Upon arrival, the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon Samson, and he broke free from his bonds. Using the fresh jawbone of a donkey, he struck down a thousand Philistine men. This event led to the place being named Ramath-lehi, meaning "Jawbone Hill," commemorating the victory achieved with the jawbone. The narrative highlights the divine empowerment of Samson and the deliverance of Israel from its enemies. Lechi serves as a testament to God's intervention and the extraordinary feats accomplished through His chosen judges.
