King James Version (KJV)
15:8 Hip and thigh - It seems to be a phrase, to express a desperate attack, attended with the utmost hurry and confusion: and perhaps intimates, that they all fled before him. So he smote them in the hinder parts. Rock Etam - A natural fortress, where he waited to see what steps the Philistines would take.
And he smote them hip and thigh, with a great slaughter; and hee went down and dwelt in the top of the rocke Etam.
