God makes the fountain En-hakkore for him in Lehi Then the Philistines went up The Philistines were a significant and persistent adversary of Israel throughout the period of the Judges. The phrase "went up" indicates a movement from the coastal plains, where the Philistines were settled, to the hill country of Judah. This movement is not just geographical but also symbolic of the Philistines' aggressive intent to dominate and subdue the Israelites. Historically, the Philistines were known for their military prowess and advanced weaponry, which often posed a formidable challenge to the Israelites. The Hebrew root for "went up" (עָלָה, 'alah) often implies an ascent, which can also suggest a rise in hostility or tension. camped in Judah and deployed themselves against Lehi Spread themselves in Lehi.--The use of the name before the incident from which a place is said to have received the name is found also in the case of Hormah (Numbers 14:45; Numbers 21:3). It was called in full Ramath-Lehi. (See on Judges 15:17.) The character of the narrative suggests the question whether the name may not have existed previously, and the play on words may not have been adapted by Samson to the incident. For the name of the place is Lechi (?????? ), and "a jawbone" is Lehi (???). Shen, "tooth," is the name of an isolated sharp rock (1Samuel 14:4), and therefore "jaw" would not be an unnatural name for a range of such rocks. Josephus, however, says that before Samson's exploit the place "had no name." It may be again alluded to in 2Samuel 23:11, where the words rendered "into a troop" may mean "to Lehi," as it is understood by Josephus (Antt. vii. 12, ? 4) and some MSS. of the LXX. . . . Verse 9. - Went up, i.e. from their own country in the Shephelah to the hill country of Judah. As Samson had avenged his wrongs on the whole Philistine people, so they now came up to Judah to take vengeance for Samson's injuries. In Lehi, or, rather, hal-Lehi, the Lehi, the place afterwards so called, as related in vers. 17 and 20 (see Judges 7:25, note). Lehi has been identified by some with Tell-el-Lekhiyeh, four miles above Beer-sheba; and by others with Beit-Likiyeh, in the Wady Suleiman, two miles below the upper Beth-heron, and so within easy distance of Timnath and other places mentioned in the history of Samson. But no certainty can at present be arrived at.Parallel Commentaries ...
