Contextual Overview
9 The Philistines went and set up their tents in Judah, and spread out in Lehi. 10 The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" The Philistines said, "We have come to take Samson and do to him as he did to us." 11 Then 3,000 men of Judah went down to the opening of the rock of Etam and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What is this that you have done to us?" Samson said to them, "I have done to them as they did to me." 12 They said to him, "We have come to take you and give you to the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Promise me that you will not kill me." 13 So they said to him, "No, we will only tie you up and give you to them. We will not kill you." So they tied him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock. 14 When Samson came to Lehi, the Philistines came with a loud noise to meet him. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson with power. The ropes on his arms became as weak as a burning plant, and fell from his hands. 15 Samson found a jawbone of a donkey and took it in his hand. He killed 1,000 men with it. 16 Then Samson said, "With the bone of a donkey there are bodies upon bodies. With the bone of a donkey I have killed 1,000 men." 17 When he was done speaking, he threw the bone from his hand. And he called that place Ramath-lehi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the Philistines went up,.... From Palestine, which lay low on the shore of the Mediterranean sea:
and pitched in Judah; in the laud of Judea, which lay higher, particularly in the tribe of Judah, whither they came with an army, and encamped there:
and spread themselves in Lehi; their forces were so many, that they extended a considerable way, and particularly reached to Lehi, that is, which was afterwards so called; for it has its name by anticipation from the jaw bone, which it signifies, with which Samson slew many in this place, as after related.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Spread themselves - An expression used of the Philistine mode of war 2 Samuel 5:18, 2 Samuel 5:22, alluding to the compact way in which they came up the wadys, and then distpersed. Lehi is so called by anticipation (see Judges 15:17).
