Smith's Bible Dictionary [1]
Se'chu. (the watch-tower). A place mentioned once only - in 1 Samuel 19:22 - apparently as lying on the route between Saul's residence, Gibeah, and Ramah, (Ramathaim-zophim), that of Samuel. It was notorious for "the great well" (or rather, cistern) which it contained. Assuming that Saul started from Gibeah, (Tuleil el-Ful), and that Neby Samwil is Ramah, then Bir Nebolla, (the well of Neballa), just south of Beeroth, alleged by modern traveller to contain a large pit, would be in a suitable position for the great well of Sechu.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [2]
("the hill or eminence".) (1 Samuel 19:22): Between Saul's dwelling place, Gibeah, and Samuel's, Ramah. It had "the great well" or cistern (bor ). Now, according to some, Βir Νeballa ("the well of Neballa"), containing a large pit.
Morrish Bible Dictionary [3]
A place apparently lying between Gibeah and Ramah. 1 Samuel 19:22 . Identified with Suweikeh, 31 53' N, 35 12' E .

(Heb. with the art. has-Seku', .חַשְּׂכוּ , the watch-tower, implying that the place was on or near an elevation; Sept. Σεχί v. r. Σεφεί ), a region in Ramah, containing a famous well (or rather cistern, בּוֹר ), which Saul passed while in pursuit of David (1 Samuel 19:22). "Assuming that Saul started from Gibeah (Tuleil el-Ful), and that Neby Samwil is Ramah [?], then Bir Neballa (the well of Neballa), alleged by a modern traveller (Schwarz, Palest. p. 127) to contain a large pit, would be in a suitable position for the great well of Sechu. Schwarz himself (p. 157) would identify it with Askar, on the south-east end of Mount Eba], and the well with Jacob's Well in the plain below; and Van de Velde (S. and P. ii, 53 sq.) hesitatingly places it at Shuk, in the mountains of Judah north-east of Hebron; but this they are forced into by their respective theories as to the position of Ramathaim-Zophim" (Smith). Sechu is perhaps represented by the present Khuraib er-Ram, which still contains a cistern (Robinson, Later Res. p. 287), and lies near er-Ram (Ramah) directly on the road from Tuleil el-Ful (Gibcah of Saul).
