( שׁוֹק , Shok, usually "shoulder") occurs in the A.V. only in the phrase "hip and thigh" (lit. Leg Upon Thigh), in the account of Samson's slaughter of the Philistines ( Judges 15:8); evidently a proverbial phrase, i.e. "he cut them in pieces so that their limbs, their legs and their thighs, were scattered one upon another, q. d. he totally destroyed them" (Gesenius). (See Samson).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [5]
( שׁוק , shōḳ , "leg," "limb," "hip," "shoulder"): Samson smote the Philistines "hip and thigh" (Hebrew "leg upon thigh"), which was indicative of "a great slaughter" ( Judges 15:8 ), the bodies being hewed in pieces with such violence that they lay in bloody confusion, their limbs piled up on one another in great heaps.
