| <p> '''1.''' In southern Judah (negeb </p> <p> '''2.''' midbar 1 Samuel 26:2). On both occasions the [[Ziphites]] discovered him to Saul. The last interview of David and [[Jonathan]] was in the wood here. [[A]] round hill, 100 ft. high, about three miles [[S.]] of Hebron, is still called Tell Zif. Three miles further [[S.]] is Kurmul (Carmel), and between them to the [[W.]] of the road is Yutta (Juttah). [[Rehoboam]] fortified [[Ziph]] (2Ch_11:8), probably Tell Ziph. </p> <p> Half a mile off eastward are ruins at the head of two small wadies running off toward the [[Dead]] Sea. Lieut. Conder disputes the existence of a wood at Ziph; there are no springs of any size, and the soil is chalky. [[Septuagint]] and [[Josephus]] substitute "the new place" for "the wood of Ziph." The village Khirbet Khoreisa, one mile [[S.]] of Ziph, answers to "the wood of Ziph" as [[Kjv]] translates; the difference between the [[Hebrew]] choresh and the Septuagint reading is a difference merely of points; the choresh of Ziph was a village belonging to the larger town at Tell Ziph. </p>

It is chiefly celebrated in connection with the earlier history of David: "David ... remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph" ( 1 Samuel 23:14 , 1 Samuel 23:15 , 1 Samuel 23:24; 1 Samuel 26:2 ); the Ziphites ( 1 Samuel 23:19; 1 Samuel 26:1; compare Psalm 54:1-7 title) sought to betray him to Saul, but David escaped. Ziph was fortified by Rehoboam ( 2 Chronicles 11:8 ). The name also occurs in 1 Chronicles 2:42; 1 Chronicles 4:16 . In connection with this last (compare 1 Chronicles 4:23 ) it is noticeable that Ziph is one of the four names occurring on the Hebrew stamped jar handles with the added למלך , <i> ''''' la''''' </i> - <i> '''''melekh''''' </i> , "to the king. " </p> <p> The site is <i> ''''' Tell ''''' </i> <i> ''''' Zı̂f ''''' </i> , 4 miles Southeast of Hebron, conspicuous hill 2,882 ft. above sea-level; there are cisterns and, to the East, some ruins ( <i> Pef </i> , [[Iii,]] 312,315). </p> <p> (2) [[A]] town in the [[Negeb]] of Judah ( Joshua 15:24 ), site unknown. </p> | | <p> ( זיף , <i> ''''' zı̄ph ''''' </i> , meaning unknown): </p> <p> (1) [[A]] grandson of [[ Caleb]] ( 1 Chronicles 2:42 ); the [[Septuagint]] has Ζείφ , <i> ''''' Zeı́ph''''' </i> . </p> <p> (2) [[A]] son of [[Jehallelel]] ( 1 Chronicles 4:16 ).
