Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - Made an end of speaking, i.e. of reciting the song about the heaps of slain. It is singular that the word rendered speaking might also be rendered destroying, as in 2 Chronicles 22:10. Called that place Ramath-lechi, i.e. the height of Lechi, or of the jawbone, or, rather, the throwing away of the jawbone. He commemorated the exact spot where the slaughter ceased and the weapon Was thrown away by giving it the name of Ramath-Lechi, or, as it was called for shortness, Lechi (or hal-Lechi).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) Ramath-lehi.--The marginal rendering, "the lifting up of the jawbone" is found in the LXX. and Vulg., and derives Ramath from the verb r-m," to be high." The more natural explanation is, "the hill of Lehi." The other marginal rendering, "the casting away of the jawbone," derives Ramath from the verb ramah, "he cast." This would require the form Remath.
