<p> (Heb. Chalchul', '''''חִלַחוּל''''' , etymol. doubtful, but, according to F '''''Ü''''' rst, full of ''Hollows;'' Sept. '''''Ἀλοὐλ''''' . r. '''''Αἰλουά''''' ), a town in the highlands of Judah, mentioned in the fourth group of six north of [[Hebron]] (Keil, [[Joshua]] p. 387), among them Beth-zur and [[Gedor]] (&nbsp;Joshua 15:58). [[Jerome]] ''(Onomast.'' s.v. Elul) says it existed in his time near Hebron as a small village ("vilula") by the name ''Of Alta.'' Dr. Robinson found it in the modern ''Hulhul,'' a short distance north of Hebron, consisting of a ruined mosque (called Neby Yunas or "Prophet Jonah") upon a long hill, surrounded by the remains of ancient walls and foundations ''(Researches, 1'' , 319). During his last visit to [[Palestine]] he visited it again, and describes it as situated high on the eastern brow of the ridge, the head town of the district, inhabited by an uncivil people; the environs are thrifty and well cultivated. The old mosque is a poor structure, but has a minaret (new ed. of Researches, 3, 281). Schwarz also identifies it with this village on a mount, 5 Eng. miles north-east of Hebron" (Palestine, p. 107). So likewise De Saulcy (Dead Sea, i, 451). The hill is quite a Conspicuous one, half a mile to the left of the road from Jerusalem to Hebron, the village somewhat at its eastern foot, while opposite it, on the other side of the road, is Best-stir, the modern representative of Beth-zur, and a little further to the north is Jedfir, the ancient Gedor. In [[Jewish]] tradition quoted by Hottinger (Cippi Hebraicae p. 38), and reported by an old [[Hebrew]] traveler (Jo. Chel, 1334; see Carmody, Itin. Hebrew, p. 242), it is said to be the burial-place of (ad, David's seer (&nbsp;2 Samuel 24:11). Hence it was for a time a place of Jewish pilgrimage (Wilson, Lands of Bible, 1, 384). See also the citations of Zunz in Asher's Betj. of [[Tudela]] (2, 437, note). (See [[Chellus]]). </p>

<p> ''''' hal´hul ''''' ( חלחוּל , <i> ''''' ḥalḥūl ''''' </i> ): A city in the hill country of Judah (&nbsp; Joshua 15:58 ), "Halhul, Beth-zur and Gedor." It is without doubt the modern <i> ''''' Ḥalḥūl ''''' </i> , a village on a hill, surrounded by fine fields and vineyards, some 4 miles North of Hebron and less than a mile to the East of the modern carriage road. It is conspicuous from a considerable distance on account of its ancient mosque, <i> ''''' Wely Nebi Yûnas ''''' </i> , the "shrine of the [[Prophet]] Jonah" - a tradition going back at least to the 14th century. The mosque, which has a minaret or tower, is built upon a rock platform artificially leveled. In the 14th century it was stated by Isaac Chilo (a Jewish pilgrim) that the tomb of [[Gad]] the [[Seer]] (&nbsp;1 Samuel 22:5; &nbsp;2 Samuel 24:11 f) was situated in this town. Beth-zur ( <i> ''''' Beit Sûr ''''' </i> ) and Gedor ( <i> ''''' Jedûr ''''' </i> ) are both near. In [[Josephus]] ( <i> BJ </i> , IV, ix, 6) we read of an Alurus (where the Idumeans assembled), and in Jerome (OS 119 7) of a village Alula near Hebron, which both probably refer to the same place ( <i> PEF </i> , III, 305; Sh Xxi ). </p>

<p> The modern representative of this place, Halhul, is described in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (3:305) as "a large stone village on a hill-top, with two springs and a well; also a fine spring below ('Hin ed-Dhirweh). On the west is the mosque of Neby Yunis, now in a partly ruinous condition, with a minaret. There are rock-cut tombs south of the village. The hills on the north have vineyards on them, and there are other tombs here also." These last are elsewhere more fully detailed (3:329). </p>
