The opening as it read in 2010
Khirbet Beit Lei is an archaeological site in the Judean lowlands , in Israel . Its name means "Ruin of the House of Lei" in Arabic . Khirbet Beit Lehi (or Lei) is located about 22 miles south west of Jerusalem and less than 1,000 meters from a location held by archeologists and religious historians as "Samson's Well," the spring that God provided to quench Samson's thirst after his epic battle with the Philistines. The ancient well still flows and has been used as a source of water for cattle and flocks for thousands of years. In 1961, road construction unearthed an ancient multi-chamber burial cave in the vicinity of Lachish , and adjacent to the Green Line . Aside from eight skeletons interred within, several supplications for the salvation of Judea and Jerusalem were inscribed on the walls, as well as sketches of ships, leading scholars to believe that the chambers were reused by Israelite refugees fleeing the Chaldaean armies in the sixth century BC, probably Levites . Ships are a common motif in ancient Near Eastern burial chambers. The reference to Jerusalem is the oldest such Hebrew language mention: [1] ה' אלהי כל הארץ, הרי יהד לו לאלהי ירשלם , המוריה אתה חננת נוה יה ה1

Local traditions support this interpretation: the inhabitants of Khirbet Beit Lehi maintain that their village was in ancient times the home of a Prophet and Judge named Lehi, who eventually left the village and disappeared into Saudi Arabia .
