From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Jaw-bone
    of an ass afforded Samson a weapon for the great slaughter of
    the Philistines (Judg. 15.15), in which he slew a thousand men.
    In verse 19 the Authorized Version reads, "God clave a hollow
    place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout." This
    is a mis-translation of the words. The rendering should be as in
    the Revised Version, "God clave the hollow place that is in
    Lehi," etc., Lehi (q.v.) being the name of the hill where this
    conflict was waged, possibly so called because it was in shape
    like a jaw-bone.
