   In Judges 15:9 the APB renders the Philistines as having “spread out in Lehi”; in Judges 15:14 it renders Samson’s arrival, “When he came to Lehi.” In Judges 15:19 the same proper-noun form locates the hollow place from which water came and the place called En-hakkore.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term consistently as “Lehi” in each verse: a place of encampment, arrival, and the location of a hollow place with water. These renderings confirm the verse setting rather than isolate further nuance.
