LEHI

(Heb. leḥî)

A Philistine camp where the imprisoned Samson broke free and killed 1000 Philistines with a “fresh jawbone (Heb. leḥî) of a donkey” (Judg. 15:9, 14, 19). It was subsequently called Ramath-lehi, “the high place of Lehi” (Judg. 15:17). The Philistines later deployed troops here against David (2 Sam. 23:11). Generally the Hebrew term refers to the jawbone of a human or animal, but it may also indicate a geographical feature. The site was probably located in the lowlands of Judah.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
